I was afraid of snakes growing up. I would never touch the snakes my younger brother caught because I was afraid of getting bit. I always had other pets though (cat, dog, hamster, fish, gerbil, etc...). When I went off to college I lived in an apartment that had a strict no pet policy, so I start looking for something I thought I could convince the landlord to let me have. It didn't work, but almost 2 years ago shortly after I moved to WI I finally got a ball python (I had fallen in love during my search for a caged pet ).

Well as you can see from my sig, my collection has exploded in 2 years.

I never expected this to happen and it probably wouldn't have if I hadn't discovered Reptile Rapture in Monona, WI. I got my second BP from them, my male spider, and it just went down hill from there. I started learning about all the different morphs and even different species. I don't regret it at all, I love being a crazy reptile lover.
