I've always been an animal fanatic. Snakes,lizards, cats, dogs geckos were always fascinating. I was interested in corn snakes but they were so.... Twiggy? And in one Teacher's classroom I saw two ball pythons crammed into a 40 gallon fish tank. They were pretty chill animals and jut sat there staring or sleeping. I thought how miserable they must be sitting there crammed together. So I went out and did research on these snakes. As I learned about their natural habitat and behavior I was very sad but at the same time fell in love with these awesome creatures. But of course I didn't try to get a snake until recently. I finally manned up and bought all my snake stuff! Now I'm just waiting until Friday to pick up my first actual pet that I know how to care for and paid for with my own money!
