Before I moved to Utah to be with my Fiance he got a normal BP and I alway teased him about feeding it to a cat.. Kept tellin him how much I COULDNT STAND snakes, they were useless, mean and just totally unpredictable... Now, I have my babies Jewels and Diamond that I love to death and have a total different outlook on snakes.. My christmas wish list consists of a piebald ball python and an axanthic(sp?)... They are way too addicting! I LOVE IT!
