Your First

I've been visiting a couple threads and noticed that almost everyone here has turned breeder or have a ton of snakes (to be clear, "ton" for me is more than one lol). I know BP can live for 30+ years so that made me wonder, do you still have your first? If so, how old is he/she (how long have you had em') and you don't, what's the story? Considering I'm a noob I can't contribute but I'd love to read your story :]

Ive had my first since August lol. He is 3 years old. :)

My first pair of sub adult ball pythons were sold without my permission. I was an over-the-road trucker and my girlfriend(at the time) needed gas money. So I wasn't around to stop it. Needless to say, we aren't together anymore.

I still have the 1.0 part of the 1.1 pair I got started with. My firsts, plural, were a visual male albino and a 100% het female. I sold the female and replaced her with a completely unrelated het female, as the original pair were half brother and sister. I've still got him...only going on three years but I intend to hang on to him as long as he's around, barring any catastrophes.

of the 15.18.0, yes I do still have my original 3.
I was one of those "the only good snake is a dead one" untill a little over two years ago. :O
My wife and I were out joy riding on our anniversary and found the little hole in the wall pet shop.
She saw this little king snake that she wanted and we talked about it for a couple hours.
Well, me being me and always trying to get whatever my wife wants even when we cant afford it:oops:
Took her "grocery shopping" and we endd up at that same pet shop.
We got the king and then frantically came up with housing for her (Nibbles).
It took about 2 or 3 days after my wife went back to work and I was home alone with the snake.
I started getting brave and trying to handle her (I'm 6 foot and about 215 pounds) but still totally scared of this little 50-60 gram snake.
Within a week our son wanted a snake of his own and well you know dad cant be left out so Huggie Bear and Leo came into our lives thenext weekend.

Still have my first. Got my Cal King male back in 93-94, something like that. Can't remember that long ago.

This time last year I was deathly afraid of snakes, found this site and became curious. Did my research and in last July I bought my first! Then in September I bought my second and now last Friday I bought my third :) Will not part with any of my girls I have! Till death do us all apart!

My dad got me my first BP nearly 11 years ago, it was a completely arbitrary purchase and to be honest, I was mostly just perplexed when he told me that he had just bought her. Didn't start getting more until this year!

My first to pip in Aug. 09 was a female yellowbelly
