18 years. I got my first T on september 3rd, 1993. I let go of my first collection of 100ish in 2004 and only kept 4 but went straight back up to the 70ish I have now.

Since 1992 .. I only had one adult female G. rosea till about 2002 when she died. Ever since my collection has fluctuated. Got out of the hobby for a short while when my ex-wife and I split. Once I got the ship righted I jumped right back in. Right now I am at my highest number of 29.

Perfectly legitimate thread demands to be resurrected. Cookie monster agrees.
