My first pet of my own were hamsters that were not in the ideal setups when I was a kid. My first pet that I bought myself and actually did research on and I consider to really be my first pet, is Draco my beardie. The only reason I don’t consider the hamsters as mine is because they lived in my room, but it was my parents who provided for them and did the main caretaking.

My first pet outside of the family dogs that was really “mine” was a pair of female rats my parents got me when I was 7. I had a series of rats after that, but eventually became disheartened by their short lifespans. After all 3 of my rats died within a week of each other, my parents suggested I look into something that lives longer. When I was about 12, I got a bearded dragon, which was my first reptile. I had him for nearly 10 years.

My first pet was a corn snake I named Ares. I got him as a well started hatchling just reaching juvenile size. I had him for over 20 years and he just passed on me the 1st of October 2024. He went through my young years of learning basic to intermediate care. He even came with me to college where I was concentrating in herpetology and ornithology. I miss him.

I have always had dogs as pets since I was a baby. Besides snakes, turtles, frogs, and pigeons I would catch and keep as pets every summer as a kid. I bought my first boa when I was 11 years old. She was a baby and only a few months old, had her for 19 years. I named her Bo. She was a Colombian BCI.
