Me too. All kids seem to have the disease!

People in my family are allergic to furry animals so I was considering getting a corn snake. While doing research I ended up on the ball python side of YouTube over the winter holidays, and upon seeing a baby pied ball python for the first time (specifically in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-ne7m6YFtw ) I was instantly in love.

I now have an albino mojave boy that I am very happy with, and I might get a pied in the future once they are available!

I’m in it because I was obsessed with the garter snakes in my yard growing up. I would get bucket fulls of them at my grandfathers campground. Unfortunately my mother was terrified so I never had the chance. So I put a plan in action. Grow up,make money get a house and start a collection,because I’m the man of this house and get what I want...Well I get what I want when my wife lets me. I’m still the man of the house when she’s not here, or when my daughters not here. Well come to think of it. I’m a bank that occasionally gets to spend my own money

Ok this will sound stupid but 2 years ago I had this dream where I had this pet snake that was big and heavy, and I brought it to school. People loved it and I fell in love with it. Since that dream I have been in love with snakes. I have dreamed about owning an OD pied bp (ik that's very specific) since but now I am leaning more towards blood boas as my second snake.

When I was a little kid, I was catching toads, frogs, lizards, salamanders and newts. Then I discovered snakes, much to my Mom’s dismay. My Dad taught me what was safe to catch, and it’s been all downhill from there. I was fascinated by reptiles and amphibians but never allowed to keep any of my captures as pets, and no snakes until I was out on my own. I bought my first snake, a common redtail boa, in 1991 and had him until he passed in 2017. I’ve had a number of different species over the years, but really love the ball python morphs. They’re beautiful, a great size, sweet tempered, not terribly difficult to care for, just all around great snakes....as long as you can deal with the occasional fast. :rolleyes:

Since I was a little boy and lived across the street from a Forrest Preserve. Snakes, frogs, turtles, toads and an occasional tortoise. I was definitely hooked.

When I was 11 or 12 I found a brown water snake when I was fishing and from that day on I was hooked. I caught and kept pretty much every indigenous snake and lizard there was in my area. My mother only had one rule and that was that I had to take good care of them. Not so much into lizards now although I do see an ackie in my future once I have more space.
