Actually I can't even remember how it started, I just know being told I was catching them as soon as I could walk after them. I know my mom sort of encouraged it with stopping and picking up box turtles off of the road and keeping them for a few days and letting them go. And my yard was always soaking wet with puddles where there were always frogs and toads for me to catch. But as the years went on I kept catching more and more stuff each year and then started getting into the more exotic species. But now at 21 (next month) my collection just keeps growing bigger and bigger, and I'm even attempting to breed some of my animals.

Here's my lengthy list:
