I first started showing interest pretty well the first time I saw one. I was 2 years old and my mom brought me to this informative show thing for kids at the local library. He brought a bunch of reptiles, but the one that really struck me was this huge albino burmese python he brought. I got to pet her

Ever since that day I had wanted to get a snake, so I got one (a ball python) and now I'm up to 4 snakes, preparing to breed around next year I don't consider myself a pet owner of any sort, right now I'm a snake keeper (and cat, tarantula and bird keeper ) but when I start breeding BPs then I guess I'll turn into a hobbyist, because I'm breeding them for my own collection, not profit.
