not only that but yours can eat everyone else's pet! lol



Well I have always loved snakes and my mom and dad never would let me get one. So when I was 18 I was at a pet store getting supplies for my red eared slider when I saw a ball python. I went back the next day to get it after being told incorrect husbandry info from a worker. I found this site that night and went out to get all the necessary supplies the next day.

We had ALL kinds of critters when I was little and my parents were still married.... EXCEPT for snakes! My dad, (The same man that built me a "turtlerarium" in the back yard where we raised Box turtles) has a fobia of snakes... When I was 6 I brought in a lil Grass snake that I found.. My dad flEWW throught the house slamming doors etc.. LONG/SHORT... Parents split... my mom & I still had all types of stuff, but that's when my Rep. intrest really sparked. My mom brought me a baby BCI for my 13th B-day...


I'm just AMAZED with their beauty... ALL snake species. I think they rival birds, fish, etc.. The closer you look at a snake, the more amazing they become...

I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of them from the time I was little to the age of 21. Then again I didn't really know much about them. When I was 21 I found a loose toad in a parking lot hopping around on a very very hot day and I took him home. I had him for about 2 weeks then I knew he was in good enough heath to be released. I released him and a few days later I missed the little guy. So I went out and got a toad from a pet store. A few days later she died and I was pretty upset. A friend of mine then got a baby snow corn snake and that is all she wrote! After handling her corn snake that was it. I loved snakes, so I went out and bought Jinx... and well my snake family has grown him there
