Hello there, my name is Nicole but I often go by Nikki. I'm 20 years old and got into herps about 3 years ago when I first got introduced to snakes more indepth by some family friends of ours. They owned 4 different ball pythons and I instantly took an interest in them. A few months later I actually got my first snake Halo, who happens to be an everglades rat snake. For a short time I owned a southern snow pine named Aphrodite but I ended having to get rid of her because of a really naive disagreement. I've since gotten a brazilian rainbow boa named Cleopatra, or Cleo for short, to add to the family. I'd like to get a ball python in the future but for now I'm satisifed with my little collection.

Amongst being a herp lover, I do have two 'fur babies' along side my 'scale babies'. One of them is a 9 year old german shepherd named Zena and a 4 year old cat named Amour but everybody calls her Kitten and Little One. We also have a 3 year old Leopard Gecko named Oreo but that one is actually my mothers.

I do have lots of questions and will be stalking the forums for now!
