I've been a freak about reptiles my whole life. I have no idea why but there's something about them. I used to have a corn snake, leo, BP, water dragon and anoles through high school which were all awesome. Unfortunately I had to give them up when I went to college because I couldn't have them in the dorms which was terrible and I strongly advise choosing your reptiles over going to college any day. I personally didn't even last a year in college and when I got booted I started building a massive iguana enclosure. I was going to get a fancy iguana until I stumbled into a pet store for dog food and seen an iguana on the bottom shelf that wasn't looking so hot. I asked what was up with him and they told me he's probably going to die soon and that I could take him for free if I wanted to. I reached my hand in his enclosure and he lashed me and bit me and ran around the cage like a nut. I finally grabbed him and he was pissed it was love at first sight! Driving home the song "Swinging from the Gallo's Pole" came on the radio and I decided to name him Gallo because they thought he was going to die. Luckily with the proper enclosure 6 by 6 by 3 plexiglass and with all the goodies and some beautiful driftwood he thrived. I always tried to tame him but never could and I loved him for that. I always said he had a sense of himself and was too prideful to trust anyone which I understood. Unfortunately I got screwed out of my living situation (pro tip: always sign a lease) and became homeless because I couldn't even find a place that would allow my dog so I had to turn him over to a reptile rescue. Shortly after that I became a Dad and reptiles went on the back burner for a while. Then my better half said one day "Why don't you get a snake?" because she's always known I've always loved BP's and wanted to breed them so I did, just very recently too. Already built a rack, got them settled and my mind has been spinning with ideas and possibilities. I always try talking to friends and people I work with about BP's and they really don't care, but I'm such a freak that even knowing that they don't care I will still tell them anyways! This website is awesome and the community seems to have grown quite a bit since I was in high school and the morphs are amazing. Reptile people are freaks lets face it!
