Well growing up i will say i was fortunate enough to experience a diverse first hand knowledge on a lot of animals due to my mom. from your common domestic cats and dogs, to farm animals like pig, chickens, pigs, etc, to more exotic and aquatic ones. we had some crazy stuff in our house growing up and was unofficially dubbed the Zoo of Upper Darby. you could hear the animals 1-2 blocks away. LOL. after i left for the airforce and returned, it was about 2-3 yeaars after that that i got my first BP, Rafael. and landed a job in the Pet store i grew up near. wiggled my way into the reptile room after a week or 2 there and loved it, while there i got some real fun dealing with many more diverse reptiles and exotics. including hots, aliigators/camien. and trantula's and many other things. While there they had a pair of australian brown water pythons, that no one ever looked at, or did much with, because of their protective nature. so i took a chance and took them out, and fell in total love with them. and was totally hooked on snakes from that point on. although i always preferred reptiles over fur and feathers.
