Just Would Like to Say Some Meaningful Words to the BP.net Community
I've been going on here for two years now, time has definitely passed very quickly. But these past two years have been wonderful on BP.net, and I've had an amazing experience here. I've met some down-to-earth people, gnarly breeders, and all over a wonderful group of snake hobbyists. Honestly I forget how friendly people can be until I pop up on this forum. Although, not only the members of the forum have made my experience awesome, all the information I've acquired about anything related to the reptile hobby has helped me take several steps farther towards my future career.
All the information I've taken in from this forum has made even real life experiences amazing, such as seeing the stoked faces on people when they finally touch their first snake, helping people overcome their fear, giving out information to new keepers/owners, and even seeing how surprised people can get after seeing a reptile room full of different species of reptiles and invertebrates. I was even told very recently that my reptile room is far more interesting than the reptile house at the Phoenix Zoo. A compliment like that makes me feel like a billion dollars:D.
The most accomplishing feeling in my life by far was the day my female Ball python laid her eggs (June 6). When I purchased her, I never had the intention or the thought cross my mind that I was going to breed her. I've never stuck to sports, activities, or anything. The only "trophies" I have are my tarantula molts LOL. Keeping snakes is basically what my life revolves around, so with that in mind, producing my very own clutch was overwhelming.
I would just love to say thank you to everyone whose helped me out with anything and everything. I honestly couldn't give enough thanks. I wouldn't know bull-poop if it wasn't for this forum. It has been pretty much my dream to make it this far and have the animals I currently own. I thought about making a thread like this exactly a year ago, but I didn't exactly get around to it. I'm still learning new stuff all the time on here and glad to be doing so. Hope you guys enjoyed the thread, even if it was a tad lengthy:P.

Tiff,
I have watched you grow and learn here. You have a vast knowledge and you have even helped me at times. It must be the coolest feeling in the world to have your first clutch of eggs. I too look forward to one day breeding ball pythons.

I wish you lots of luck with breeding :). When she laid those eggs, I was just about jumping around in excitement for 10 minutes LOL :D.

Thank you:D!! That reminds me, I really was seriously considering purchasing this 5" A. Geniculata but decided against it :O. Although, I do give you a HUGE thank you for pretty much giving me the majority of my tarantula knowledge :D.

I love the Ts and your Dum looks huge! How big is he/she? How old. I have a big soft spot for them. I don't know if its the color of the photo but s/he looks a lot lighter than my girl.
Summery: Big thank you to BP.Net from here too!:D
She just recently reached 7 feet :). I'm not sure how old, I acquired her over a year ago when she was around 6 1/2 feet maybe a tad longer. I'm a huge fan of Dum's too :D. The color is a bit washed out because the camera was on flash, but she is pretty light.

Thank you Mike :D, you know I'm definitely posting up pics to FB and BP.net immediately after they're out :D. I honestly cannot wait to cut the eggs, the days are going by too slowly.
