What made you want to adopt a snake?

[Traceur]

Eight years ago my daughter wanted a king snake. He was a cool little dude and is still a snake I use to introduce non-snake people to snakes.

Then we got two ball pythons. After that things got a little out of hand...

Funny how a living spaghetti noodle could change your life, eh?

LOL look at us
It was literally 3 weeks after moving into my apartment hahah

it took me maybe 2 months, because after my 1 month of research i was still a bit anxious to pull the trigger lol.

i just moved into my first place and i was ignorant to snakes when i started researching easy pets,as a way to help ease my depression (lol). beeps and snakes were always right there at the top. the rest is history.

Geezers, how can one own so many darn snakes???I noticed a lot of people owning tons of snakes since I joined, why is that?

But I love your story. Hopefully, when I get a bigger place, I'd love to own more pets. I hope your collection keeps expanding, tho

i have 7 snakes and 1 gecko and i feel like i have a lot lol. tho it's mainly ppl outside the hobby that make me feel that way LOL.

I can totally see that. Probably why I want more pets XD Someday I want to own a couple of snakes, a handful of cats, and some fish (I love fish). It's fun having them all around, isn't it? Not only that, but it's the excitement and adrenaline of expanding your own little tiny family

I always loved snakes since I was a kid. I'd say Kaa from Jungle Book was one of the major influences that got me into them. I remember my parents always insisting they were gross, ugly and evil and in turn that just made me like them more because I felt they were misunderstood.

My family and friends at the time all hated snakes so I just kept my love and fascination for them to myself. I thought having pet snakes was just a distant dream and I'd never be allowed to have one in life ever.

Fast forward to moving out and getting married, I discovered my husband didn't mind snakes. That was when I realized no one could stop me anymore lol.

Now I joke to my parents that they have two limbless grandchildren :p

Pfft, you're pretty darn lucky! My own grandmother can't stand my ball python. Her and a few other of my family members hate snakes. Not to mention she's pretty religious too, so of course she has her beliefs towards them, to put it lightly.

please just keep sharing your cute stories, and keep sharing your milestones. ive found that is the best way to break that barrier down with people: help the realize people care A WHOLE BUNCH about them, and they care enough to brag.

it's worked wonders with my parents and other family members.
