Musings of a newish bp owner...
These are just a couple of my observations since becoming a bp owner:
1) my female normal is the nicest snake ever. I doubt any snake could be sweeter than her. My pastel male is an as*hole.
2) everyone who keeps bps should get an honorary degree in psychology. From tricking them with mouse bedding scented rats to turning out all the lights so they think they're in private to get them to eat, the lengths we go to are amazing. I tell my kid I'm not a short order cook and she can starve if she doesn't like what I'm making.
3) people feel very strongly about snakes. According to my friends I should've died about 5 times over by now. I would probably get a smaller reaction from people if I told them I was an animal sacrificing satanist.
4) it totally freaks non snake people out when they look in your sink to see defrosting rats or worse when they go to get ice from your freezer and see frozen rats. If you don't explain you WILL get weird looks and your guests will be hesitant to stay for dinner.
I'm sure I'll come up with more as time goes on. Feel free to add your own!!
