I'm 37, live on the Upper West Side in NYC, and manage an endoscopy facility (RN). I'm a new reptile owner. I have always wanted to own reptiles but was previously in a marriage with someone who wasn't a fan so I'm a little late to the game. I got Puffy, my bearded dragon, in April 2018 and immediately fell in love. I know I'm projecting a bit but I seriously can't believe the personalities reptiles have. After Puffy became full grown my overwhelming urge to get a snake took over and after about a month of solid research I got Noodle, my 1.5yo female ball python, on 1/21/19 from an owner who had several snakes (cousin is a breeder) and was looking to decrease his collection.
This site has been so so helpful in giving me info on preparing her enclosure, not handling her every chance I get, and not freaking out when she doesn't eat. I figured I'd register and add to it when I can.
Looking forward to chatting more!
