I have two BPs, a Dumeril, and a three year old boy. I loves all our critters and I hope that having him grow up with herps will instill the same love in him. He has a plush boa thats about three times as big as him that he drags every where. He hugs it close and calls it Leela (after our boa). Silly kiddo keeps me on my toes. But, yeah- I'm a stay at home mom with snakes
