    Addiction !?

    About a month ago I got my first ball python I was so excited to get him but lets get to the point. I already want a rack system! haha. Normal's are awesome but I'm hoping to get some new morphs already. Also I have a family member that breeds them so he can always help me out; hopefully. Now I understand why people always say once you get one, your going to want more. I love it <3

    I've always wanted a BP, so when the chance arrived for me to rescue one, I jumped on it. I got my girl in July...I already have a rack, two ball pythons, and 2 more on order. I think I am addicted as well.

    I just bought the snakes I need to make some killer bees. That's all I need for now. My normal was a rescue, bought a spider and a pastel pair. That's it for me for a few years...

    It's a known scientific fact that Beeps are a "gateway snake" to harder addictions such as Boas.

    I found that a slow steady fix is the way to go! I ODd once and the wallet took a massive hit so now I just buy every other month or do payment plans and I still get a buzz even if I dont have the snake yet but in a few weeks it will be mine all mine!!!

    talk about addicting , I started out with 2 normal( resced) and my black rat and a corn ( arescue too) still kicking today after almost 20 years ) I have since rehomed and rescued a number of other ball pythons. I went from hothing to like 10 snakes in a month when I was 15 lol talk about the cussing I was getting back then.)
    With marrying (4theSNAKElady ) in 3 months, we went from our own private collections ( too over 32 snakes last count ) lol
    Which sucks were we are currently staying not allowed to bringmost of my snakes here so I have them at mom's and trying to rehome/sell the rest so we conbine/place our entire collection into one room and look for our own place were we can keep the snakes lol..
    Was married to 4theSNAKElady (still wish we were)
    Ball pythons
    0.1 pieds 0.1 het pied

    4.2 sugar gliders ( non breeding pets)
