about 30 years ago i started catching snakes in the yard. had a few turtles and had to sneak wild caught snakes into the house. i'd keep them for a couple days then let them go and catch some more.
my first bp was around 1990. had him for a few years till my mom found out.
freshmen year in college i got a normal bp and a hogg island boa. a couple years later i was working part time and breaks at a reptile zoo. worked there for a few years caring for all sorts of reptiles and weird critters. some experience with hots but not enough to keep one...enough to know i SHOULDNT keep one without more experience.
i have also worked with animal shelters around pittsburgh, philly and now at my local shelter.
now i have a pair of pastel bps (poss. het for piebald), a male bumblee and a huge normal "dinker" female... and i'm currently caring for a rescue burmese python.
who knows what the future will bring?
