    Hello from a Vet
    Hello everyone,

    Hope everyone including their reptiles are doing great, it honestly feels a bit weird here since I'm not too familiar with Forums. Anyway I'll happily share a little bit about myself.

    I'm a US Army veteran with 7 hardy years in and 1 deployment under my belt, as of 26 of February I will be retired and be a civilian (Oh dear gawd save me)! hehe
    One of my major plans will be getting the house I been eye-balling for awhile and start up my passion again with reptiles. I don't think I'll get into breeding but I would love to be surrounded by many of the gorgeous beauties. <3

    I am currently in the works of getting a Ball Python (still unsure of the morph I want... I love them all). So far I have all the equipment needed even a nice collection of books. All I need is the snake. :)

    Am I a first time snake owner? Nope, I owned a snake prior to me joining the army she was a lovely Snow Corn Snake I named Rosie. Sadly I lost her when I was stationed in Germany when my mother was evicted and the owner just handed her to someone on the streets who wanted her. >:/

    Thank you for your service as well. :)

    I'll probably be lurking here until I am finally set up with my Ball Python *crossing fingers for a Mojave* but If I have questions I'll definitely throw them this way.

    I had to go through the annoying Medical Evaluation Board... long and annoying process but I got Medical Retirement.

    Thanks are not necessary I was happy to do my part, but the gesture is appreciated. Glad to be here, so far I am learning a lot of stuff I didn't know when I first started out. :D
