Your Ball Python Fascination

[Lolo76]

I've always been fascinated by snakes & reptiles, but until 2 years ago I'd only owned a few lizards (iguanas & leos). Then I was managing a library, and we hired somebody from the East Bay Vivarium for a children's program... that re-ignited my interest in snakes, and I went to the viv a few weeks later "just to look around." I had actually been researching in those weeks, and it was suggested that I get a Rosy Boa - not sure why, but the people I'd asked thought they were a good fit.

So I walked into East Bay Viv, and asked to see the Rosy Boas for sale. The manager brought out a few, and could tell I wasn't all that impressed... he thought I might like something a bit stockier, and showed me a Ball Python instead. Needless to say, it was love at first sight! I knew this was the snake for me, and picked out my beautiful girl Delilah. Funny thing is, as I was leaving the manager said "I've been in this business for 20+ years, and pride myself on picking the right snake for each customer; and I knew immediately you'd go home with a Ball." If only he knew what that first snake led to, LOL!
