Yes and no. I've pretty much always known that I'd get a snake. What finally triggered it, was when I realized how common they had become and that frozen mice were available in my local pet store. To give some context, it only became legal to import exotic pets in the late 1980's, so the entire hobby was up until then in the hands of people with snakes smuggled into the country illegally or in the hands of people who were breeding animals imported before the ban. If you ignore those people, then the keeping reptiles as pets is a very new thing here and the hobby is still growing quickly.
Suddenly all practical reasons why I couldn't keep snakes disappeared just like that.
