My top five reasons:

1. Meeting locals near me that enjoy reptiles like I do, none of my current friends really like them.
2. I get to learn things that I had not known before, and can ask questions.
3. This site keeps me updated on all of the new ball python morphs.
4. I love seeing the pictures of other people's collections.
5. Of course I love showing off my collection to people who actually want to see them!
