I fell in love with them when I was in 5th grade. My teacher had a ball python in the class as well as a pair of bearded dragons and I just naturally gravitated towards the snake. He was a very interesting class pet and after enjoying it in the classroom I brought my dad to school and asked the teacher to show Monty to him, my dad liked Monty so two days later we went and bought our own and named her Egypt. She was an awesome pet as well. Easy to take care of and she never missed a meal, I mean NEVER (no finicky eating here) and so we enjoyed her. We had her for eight years and then my mom decided that she didn't want to keep her anymore (even though she didn't pay for food) and so she gave it away to a friend. I went to college and stayed in the dorms, upon my return home from the dorms I have decided that I want to have more now and so I intend to get into breeding and to have BPs for the foreseeable future. Currently I have three.
