Hello, wonderful people of the forum! I can't wait to get to know you guys!

First thing you should know about me is that like all of you, I am addicted to herpetology and herps. I tend to lean towards reptiles over amphibians, and in reptiles I tend to lean towards snakes over lizards, but I still find them all really amazing.

I am not a new snake owner, but my original collection... well, long story short, I had them stolen from me. Thousands of dollars worth of gear and herps, countless hours spent with them, all gone to god knows where. As you can probably guess, I was heartbroken and completely crush. I felt like I had lost my children. I couldn't be around snakes for like a month without crying. Even the thought gives me pain.

So, this shall be the last time I mention it. But on a better note, I still have one snake from my original collection, Pi a normal, female, ball python. I'm guessing she escaped from her tub when they were removing the snakes, and I found her on top of the laundry machine (it was warm) on a cold night months afterwards. You could definitely say I was in euphoria when I found her. She is my only ball python at this moment, but I'm getting some more soon.

Anyways, my current collection is gorgeous, and I love them very much. We are family

Overall though, my experience with animals really ranges and includes nearly everything, even though I have much, much, much to learn. I hope to be able to contribute to the community in any way that I can.

I look forward to meeting you guys.
