I see almost everyone owns a type of BP on this forum. I even heard of BPs here that I haven't even heard of before. So, how did you get into owning these fantastic snakes? What do you like about these snakes? I will read every single story no matter how long or how short, I find it VERY interesting hearing things about snakes. So do tell

If you mind reading my story, here it is:
I don't exactly remember how I heard of these snakes, but I remember my sister bought an adult male at a reptile store about 3 years ago, I think. This snake wasn't too nice though. I don't blame the snake.. my sister didn't really have it in a suitable cage. She had a 20 gallon, with this 3-4 foot BP in it. So you'd imagine how small the enclosure was. This snake never ate the entire time my sister had him, and this snake almost bit her too. It wasn't like how my female BP is; nice, sweet, you can pretty much do anything with her. So in the end, she ended up donating the snake back.

Ever since then, I sort of admired BPs. I was on the computer one day looking up snakes, then I notice this normal BP. I immediately fell in love with the species. I didn't know of any other species at the time. So I kept convincing my mom to get this snake, but ever since my sister's snake was mean my mom didn't like BPs at all. To tease her a little, I sometimes put the snake on or by my face. I kept telling my mom, "Let's go to Petsmart they have Ball pythons there and I want you to see how nice they are." And also, that same BP I kept holding there (before I purchased) was the same BP I purchased and have now. She's my little girl. So one day my mom finally agreed to get her, and I was just SO excited. I've had her for a year now and I gotta say.. she's grown huge! She used to fit in the palm of my hand.. now, she can't even curl up to be close to fitting in the palm of my hand. Sorry my story was too long.. but you know, I would love to read your long stories ANY DAY. Even if they are longer than mine!
