    Greetings from Montana!

    Hello everyone! My name is Tom and I live in the small town of Dillon, Montana. I have had a love for snakes for several years now, but I wasn't allowed to own one while I lived with my parents. I wasn't allowed to own one in the dorms at my old college either but now that I have my own apartment I am free to own snakes!

    I had a baby ball python (normal morph) that died for unknown reasons a few weeks ago. I plan to make the 2-hour drive to the nearest pet store in a couple days to get another one. I would like to start breeding eventually but I don't know nearly enough about it. If I did start breeding though it would only be a little bit because I plan to go to Navy SEAL training in about three years and I certainly wouldn't want my poor girlfriend to have to take care of a bunch of snakes while I'm gone.

    Well that's a little bit about me!

    I'm going to Bozeman on thursday (June 20th) to get another Ball like I said. I really hope I can get a female so I can breed her eventually, but people at pet stores generally don't know what gender snakes are. Right now I only have a ten-gallon tank that I kept Troy in (RIP buddy) but once I get more gear I want to get a mojave and breed the two.

    Welcome! This is a great place for info, with lots of helpful members. It's also lots of fun here, we are all snake fanatics! Montana sounds nice. Hubby and I always joke about packing up and moving to Montana.

    I picked up everything and moved to Montana from Virginia when I was barely 18. Great place.
