Hey, everyone. My name is Erik and I'm 16 years old. I got into reptiles only about 7 months ago, and at this point I know that it's something I will be passionate about for the rest of my life. I own five snakes at the moment. 1.0.0 Ball Python 0.0.1 Corn snake [Snow] 1.1.0 BCI [Pastel Salmon] [Normal], and 0.1.0 Dumeril's.
My Ball was born some time in 2012 or 2013. I got him from a large chain pet store, which I am no longer fond of. He's 290 grams, confirmed male. I bought him on June 2, 2013. on July 4, 2013, my friend was out lighting fireworks and he found a Corn [Snow] in an apartment complex! I am not 100% on the sex, but I think it's a female. She weighs in at 250 grams. On August 8th, I bought my first BCI [Female - Pastel Salmon] born May 14, 2013. I bought my second [Male - Normal] born June, 21, 2013, at an Expo on the 17th. I bought my first Dumeril's just yesterday, 9/7/'13! All of my snakes are small/young, except for my Dumeril's. My Dumeril's is approx 6' long, and weighs in at 23.7 LBS exactly. Weighed three times on two scales for accuracy.
I plan on buying another Dum's and breeding. Since I have my pair of BCI's, and if I get a male Dumeril's, I feel that those will be good snakes to start off my career/hobby as a breeder, and owner.
