My favorite BP is our oldest and biggest normal boy named Buddy. Long Story short Buddy was a rescue of sorts. His original owner was an a**hole, plain and simple. He brought him back to the shop where he bought him(where I buy supplies and crickets) after not feeding him for god knows how long. He stopped eating because of husbandry issues. And then crushed his head between tank top and screen!!!!!! He brought him back to the shop because in his own words " This snake is broke, he won't eat and his head is a mess, I don't want him anymore!" This all happened infront of my then 7 yr old daughter. He is now over 4 yrs old and almost 4 feet, eats frozen thawed like a pro.
What makes him special however is how he reacts to my daughter. When she picks him up and takes him out to hang and do homework he curls up in her lap and rests his head on her shoulder and will sit like this for hours! When she opens his tub, he comes right out and slithers up her arm. I swear he knows its her and knows that she is the reason he is still here. She was the one who said lets offer him a small fuzzy if he takes it he has the will to live and we will take him! Well he did and she was right.
So in the spirit of the Holidays lets here your stories! He was the one who really started it all for us!
