    Why do YOU love snakes??

    I have always been interested in snakes since I was young. But only now at 31 years old has this passion truly taken me by storm. There is a whole other world of knowledge, experiences and stories that can be observed, learned and felt by keeping these majestic animals. So I'd like to just say why I love these guys so much.

    1 Their overall beauty and the way they can control the movements of their bodies. It's a sight to behold.

    2 The way they flick their tongues. Enough said.

    3 The camaraderie shared between us herp lovers. Gosh I love you guys!

    And lastly, because they are pretty much all I think about, other than my family. I think about their safety, their health, their overall well being (happiness). I think about the potential that they bring with breeding, monetarily as well as emotionally. ... I love my snakes for the perfectly imperfect creatures that they are.

    So tell me, why do YOU love your snakes?

    I love how chill they are, and I am fascinated by the genetics and breeding. Even tho I have not had a chance to get into that, I am planning already and cant wait. I love the ease of care once they are properly setup.

    Why do YOU love snakes??

    I appreciate their beauty ten fold when I handle them. Their silent movement just mesmerizes me with peace and tranquility.

    However, some of that peacefulness and tranquility is lost when handling my Big flighty Coastal Carpets.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I've been fascinated by them since I was 6~7 years old, and finally picked ball pythons when I was 11... thankfully, I didn't get one then, or I would've done everything wrong with my poor resources/knowledge. My parents never let me get one.

    So after college when I finally moved out, I got my first ball python within a month of graduating. LOL

    I just always have had an unexplained fascination for creatures that were unusual, misunderstood, unloved and feared.

    The furry pets live in my world, but it just seems like the fish and snakes inhabit a whole different and mysterious realm. I also find the sinuous movement fascinating.
