Been out of the loop for a decade, back in again!

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.

Hi! You found me, that was quick. I was about to email you to ask what your user name is.
I found a terra cotta pot, now how do I make it into a hidey hole? Upside down with a hole in it? Or lay it on its side?
Aura is upstairs in my craft room. No kids are allowed in there so it is peaceful and quiet. I keep going in there to look at her and talk to her. Hoping she will get used to me and to her new home.

Nice to see another reptile lover coming back after a decade! I too had a small collection (Boa, Burmese and ball) over a decade ago. I joined the military and wasn't able to have pets because I was gone all the time. But I've gotten out of the military, finished college and just picked up a baby Ball too!
