Hi, My name is April. 31 years old, happily married with two sons.

I used to have numerous snakes a little over a decade ago. But then I got divorced and my exhusband kept the snakes. We had some big boas over 10 feet long, some poisonous, and all different kinds. I forget what all we had. Lots of other reptiles too.

Well my new husband didn't like snakes so I have been snake-less for a decade now. This week I finally talked my wonderful husband into letting me get a ball python. I thought a ball python would be a good snake to add to family with a husband that doesn't like "creepy crawly" things. I remembered my ball python from before was sweet and docile. I picked up my new girl yesterday from a nice home breeder. She is 2 years old and is just lovely. I am thrilled with her. I am letting her rest in her new home and get comfortable before I start playing with her. I have to say I am a bit nervous with her. I am not afraid of the pain of being bitten, it is the pain of my hurt feelings that I am afraid of. She seems to be very sweet though and hasn't hissed or acted aggressive at all. So I am hoping that all goes well. My husband just asks that I not to put the snake on my neck when he isn't home LOL.

Nice to be here and I look forward to chatting with you all.
