I'm going to purchase a Nikon D-80 and I'm thinking of just purchasing the body then build it from there, or is that a bad idea.

I'm a point and shoot kind of guy and I don't have a huge amount of expertise when it comes to the right lenses to use. 97 % of all the photos I take are of my snakes.

I want to be the man version of Celia (I hope that came out right). Celia please take that as a compliment. If I've ever taken a good photograph it was only by luck.

I would appreciate any help I can get.
