It is really nice to find somewhere where you are surrounded by people who like snakes as much as you do. lol My name is Mandy. I'm a 35 yo mother of 4. I have 3 teenage boys and one girl. I live on a farm and love it. I absolutely LOVE snakes and my mother hates that fact. lol I've been married now to my husband Pat for 12 years. I have a ball python whom I got from a friend last year, her name is Alina (She is in my Avatar). I had another one but he finally passed away from old age. :( I will be getting another one (male) tomorrow from another friend from church. So I can't wait til tomorrow now. lol My mom will flip, she really hates snakes and is always telling me horror stories she hears on tv about snake attacks. Funny thing is, it never has anything to do with ball pythons and that's what I remind her but I get nowhere with that. I look forward to getting to know all of you. :)
