Ive loved snakes since I saw them at Petland Discounts in NYC when I was young. SHortly thereafter pretty much all snakes got banned within the 5 boroughs. To top taht off, my dad, an old school (40's born) Russian said I cant have one as long as I live in his house. Joined military...a year later had my first snake...a corn snake. Then rescued a burm literally off of a front lawn in the winter. Then traded the corn for a ball. And now I have a bunch of lovely animals, as an adult.
