Were you ever scared?

[Shayne]

Not real sure, I just had myself convinced somehow that I hated it. A few months back I decided to give it a shot, and it turns out that I love it. How I'm trying all different kinds. Don't think I'll be able to get away with doing that with snakes though, but man there are a few...

I hear ya!

I bought AND handled my 1st snake all on the same day just under 4 months ago and have been hooked ever since. Going back to the expo. on April 8th to get my 2nd one.

Nope, I've always loved snakes. The first moment I remember thinking, "I want a pet snake" was when I was maybe 6-7 years old and I held what I remember as a 10' python. I could barely stand, and the snake trailed its head and tail on the ground, but I was in love.


I grew up absolutely fascinated with all kinds of animals, and would devour any information I could find on whatever animal. I'd pick up 5-6 books on various animals from the library every week, and scour the internet. That perhaps kept me from being scared, plus I didn't have anyone around me that was scared of them.


I did have a few friends and family members start out fearful of them, but everyone that was vocal about it has since turned around after I started spamming photos on FB. haha

lol Wish my SO would apply that logic, he refuses to try all kinds of food because he's sure he hates it despite never eating it. Then, if I do successfully convince him to try something, sometimes that stops once attention is brought to it. -.-

I have two now and that is my limit because that's all I can afford to keep up the way that I like to keep them. I like to buy them cool decorations for their enclosures and then you always have to be prepared if one needs to go to the vet

This is almost exactly what happened to me, I'm going to do a progression thread and tell the whole story one of these days, but I went to a big box pet store just to get a closer look at a snake and see how I felt handling it. Well, long story short, it clung to my wrist and refused to be put back, so I came back the next day and bought it. I had originally planned to buy from a breeder, not a pet store, I have heard the stories and seen the videos, but after that first handling, I wanted the one that was clearly cool with me handling it.

I have a care card that I have loved! Although I’ve never used it on my pets I like having it for my family. I put over a grand on it trying to save my sisters pug and then had it cremated for her when we had to put him down 3 days later. I’ve never seen a cremated pet but it was really special for my sister and I’m glad we did it!

That's pretty much what I have been telling myself. That and the snake chose me, lol.

Yeah they do that! I went to a expo to get a banana and came home with a purple passion! Idk why they are so rare, they are so beautiful to me. I’d never seen one before and almost broke my kneck looking as I almost walked by
