Hello my name is Andy and i am addict, I am new to the forum and to snakes...i can thank my beautiful gf for this addiction, A little over a year ago i met a beautiful girl that was going through a break up and we became friends, she bought a snake, a ball python named julius lol everyone thought she was crazy and i was happy to see her happy, eventually she realized i was bf material and now we live together and i have fallen in love with all of her snakes and have even gotten over my fear of spiders. So now we have 16 snakes, a bearded dragon, three leopard geckos, 12 spiders, a red foot tortoise and two rats. After some time the gf, lgray23 asked my why i haven't joined the forums, and i must say i was afraid to because i don't know a lot about this animals besides their beauty and without her i would be lost...but after meeting some people at the expos i gave in...so here i am
