    BPs as antidepressants? :)

    I was feeling pretty down-in-the-dumps today for alot of reasons. I went and took out my favorite female BP, Ginger. She's my biggest snake, and my first BP out of the ones that I have now.

    Almost instantly, I smiled, and felt somewhat better. Of course, BPs can't take away any issues in your life; and they can't talk. But just looking at her.. and at them.. makes me feel very accomplished and happy to be their owner. This = kewl!

    Anyone have similar stories?

    Oh for sure. My life is pretty great to be honest, but my snakes give me a sense of self. Caring for them is theraputic. It's something for me and my husband to share together- it's something I love doing. I get a lot of joy from just looking at them.
