    Hai!

    I'm been lurking on this forum for a bit now and decided to make an intro

    I may be new to the forum but not real new to snakes. I bought my first snake back in the mid 90's in an attempt to over my fear of snakes. It worked so well I did some rescues when I lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I've owned a Cali King banded coastal kingsnake, a ball python (sweetest...most awesome pet I've ever had!), a red tail boa and a normal burm...not counting the several...and usually wc...ball pythons I rescued with a few others thrown in for good measure lol. When my ball python of 10 years passed on I was so heartbroken I found my other pets good homes and pretty much gave up on keeping snakes for a while. I knew I'd eventually go back to them as IMHO they are the best pets ever. Five years later I've gotten 2 baby f balls (my kids' pets), a juvi male (I think he's male...not sure as he's never been sexed) ball, and two baby f albino burms. I must say, alot of info has changed since I last kept snakes!

    It's really great to see so many people take an honest interest in these wonderful creatures, proving...for the most part....they have the ability to make excellent pets. And the new morphs are just unbelievable!

    In some ways I feel like a total noob again, soaking up all the new info.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say "hi" to everyone and look forward to learning even more about my favorite pets!

    Welcome. I felt the same way when I got back into keeping snakes. I had raised burms, and carpets for years, and got out of them for around 10 years. It was amazing to see how much had changed.

    No. I'm back in my home state, Louzyanna. Will be moving to Oklahoma in a year....or at least I hope so lol.

    I see you're from Fort Worth. Do they still have those awful reptile sellers at Trader's Village? I couldn't tell you how many wc bp's I rescued from one place (this was in the mid-90's). I manage to acclimate most that I got with a couple of them being so stressed they died They were in awful shape. Whomever took care of them when they were shipped over had live food thrown at them and left so there was bite wounds to deal with as well as mites from hell. Some had respiratory problems too. A couple were so bad I cried.....
