Very cool! Thank you everyone - so helpful . This is a nice surprise. Usually it goes the other way (expectations are higher than reality).
I have learned so much about these animals over the last year. I love that they live as long as they do and the variety of patterns and colors is incredible. I absolutely do not understand people who have a negative reaction to snakes. Now I need to convince my kids that we should have snake babies .
Very happy to have joined this community - so many interesting posts and so much to learn.
