getting to know ya'll

My name is Matthew. I'm 25, not married though in a relationship, currently working on my master's in biochemistry. Should graduate in May, august at the latest, then off to get my PhD.

I've been keeping cornsnakes for 14 yrs and breeding them for 11. They're still my main focus but I recently acquired several ball pythons as the morphs I wanted were finally in my price range. They're awesome and I'm definately looking foward to working with them.

I also have two cats from the pound, one of which has a mohawk! And a rabbit that we rescued from a local shelter.

I love everything outdoos, am an avid bicyclist, and like chess. I also marched drum corps for 3 yrs. So yeah, that's me.

Hey Billy!

I'm Christina. I've been married for almost 8 year, have two little girls (Joanna 6, Genevieve 5). We have a Pug named Baldrick, and our two Het Albino BP are coming today. I'm a housewife, I homeschool our girls, and knit professionally. We live in Montana, but may be heading out to Kentucky in the next few months.

I like to knit, spin, read, bike, and play hack and slash RPG's with my dh. Before I decided to be a housewife and mom I was a professional musician and was in the military.

Hiya, I'm Jen and I'm a mechanical engineer.

this week is my 11th wedding anniversary! no kids, but we have 2 Bengal cats, a whole bunch of fish, some dart frog terrariums, and only one ball python. I am getting a boa in the near future :sunny:

I love all animals and if my spouse didn't give me the staredown all the time I would be one of those crazy too-many-pets ladies!

I'm new, too, but I figured I'd introduce myself..
My name's Leah. I'm 17. Full time high school student. Part time PetSmart employee. Aspiring to be a vet for exotic animals. 1 BP, 3 dogs (Akita, pit bull, and mini American eskimo), 3 cats, and a very plump chinchilla. I have 7 piercings, and I'm about to get my first tattoo for my 18th birthday in November.

I love piercings, T-Pain, tattoos, fine arts, any kind of animal, concerts, and tycoon games.

Hey Billy! Welcome to BP.net.


I have 3 kids and 2 grandkids - yeah I'm old. My wonderful hubby and I have been married for 27 years. We have 5 dogs and lots of ball pythons. We've been breeding ball pythons for a little over 3 years now and we are still soooo excited every time one of those little heads pip.

I lived through and enjoyed things that many of you (based on your age) have only read about: tie dyed shirts when they first appeared, streaking on campus, sit-ins, the day President Kennedy was assasinated, the really cool mustangs ('63 - '65) when they were new, LSD in the sixties, the VietNam war, the terrible way we treated vets when they returned from VietNam, bra burning, women's lib, the horror of the day each year when draft numbers were pulled, Michael Jackson when he was cute and could sing, cell phones that were the size of a brief case, friends moving to Canada to avoid the draft, typewriters with little correction tapes, the beatles invasion, long hair on guys when short hair had been the norm, Mr. Ed, white-only restrooms, computers with monocrome monitors that only had 64 gig of ram, atari, pong, girls not being allowed to wear jeans or any kind of slacks to school, 8 track tapes, 45's and LP's, leaving a restaurant because they refused to serve my black friend, making homemade popcorn balls for trick or treaters, college dorms that were not co-ed, gym uniforms, Captain Kangaroo, reqiured PE in high school, watching them walk on the moon on the 6:00 news, the apollo rocket launches, beaches that weren't covered with condos, .36/gallon gas . . . . oh my . . . I think I'd better stop cause I'm feeling very nostalgic . . . . but all of these things helped to define me as the person I am today. What has defined you?

This is a neat idea!

I'm Jess, female, 29, divorced a few years ago from a bad guy and now living in sin with the most wonderful man in the world. No kids, and no interest in having any. My maternal urges are entirely focused on animals.

I'm a vet tech working two jobs...day practice and ER, and I do tons of pet rescue, mostly cats and dogs. At any given time we have a couple of foster puppies/kittens on top of the regular residents.

I love my balls and my bloods, and am developing an interest in boas. Before I had so many critters to take up my time, I was on a Rocky Horror cast (played Magenta, Columbia, Janet, and Rocky), performed Scottish and Irish step dance and English Morris dance (Cotswold style), and played tabletop RPGs (White Wolf's Werewolf). I'm a bio-geek and a sci-fi chick, and a wanna-be homesteader. I think my snakies satisfy the agrarian urges for now but I still dream of the little place in the country. :-)
