Re: Your First
This was my first girl ever. Her name was Mileena. I picked her up from NERD in 2006 as a female poss. YB As she got older she got more and more yellow and was just an amazing animal. I had her from 2006-2010 She died while out on a breeder loan due to unknown causes. She showed no signs of illness, tissue samples and autopsy both came back saying the same thing. Perfectly healthy. Her death is still a mystery. She was the snake that started it all for me and I will never forget her. Here are some Photos.
Her neat head markings

Re: Your First
When I was a little girl, my parents tell me I was obsessed with snakes and reptiles (not much has changed, apparently!), so when I was about 4, my dad told me that if I could save enough money for snake, he'd buy me the cage. By my 5th birthday, I had actually done it, I had saved enough to buy a baby ball python - and I did!
That was almost 21 years ago and I still have her now. :)
Sorry if anyone's already seen this pic - it's the only one I really have of her as a baby. Both of us were babies, really!

About a year or so ago. She's about 3600 grams now.

I bought my firsts as a pair (male mojave and female pastel) after spending most of high school begging my mom to let me get one. No dice. When I moved out after graduation I was living at my dad's place for free college housing, and it was no pets period there (of course, step mother could have her nasty tempered shih tzu, and let it eat at it's own seat at the table. Their house, their rules). When I finally got fed up with it all I bought Monty and Ember from Garrick DeMeyer and kept them at my boyfriend-at-the-time's house. Have since moved into my own place with a herp crazy boyfriend with a total of 6 balls, 1 pine, 1 leo, 2 cresteds and a green iguana (and counting :D )

My First Snake
My first snake was just a normal cornsnake, but he means everything to me. I had begged my mom to let me get a snake, but she was terrified of snakes so she said NO WAY! She finally let me get one, but it had to live somewhere else. She then got me many other species of animals to try to get my interests away from snakes but nothing worked. Finally (eight years later, after many different species of animals) she let me go to a reptile expo in Ny with my grandma. I picked out a normal ball, Tori, and a boa constrictor, Four, and I milk snake which I later sold. But that normal cornsnake, Slinky, introduced me to how wonderful snakes really are. Now he lives at my house, happily eating any mouse or rat in sight.

I got my first bp a few years back. Not sure the year. Before that i always combed the roads and woods for garter snakes and red bellies.(native snakes to MN). Just the other day my mom was laughing because she told us a story about how i used to come home hands bloody from snake bites and a 5 gallon bucket FULL of snakes. I wasnt allowed to keep them but every chance i got i combed the dirt roads looking for basking garter snakes. Ive had my first bp for years now. He is around 10 or 11 years old. He was a rescue. Got him from a stoner college kid who fed him one med mouse a month and his cage was covered in garbage. Literally. The guy had open bleach containers on the mesh top. I almost smacked the dude. But he is back up to wieght and is actually a hefty little male now. well thats my history lol.
