Short story is I started with a corn snake and stumbled onto this forum doing research. I saw some pics of ball pythons and it was downhill from there. I started with a 1.1 pair (an albino male I still have and a 100% het female I sold a year or so ago). Three racks and 14 (currently) snakes later, I'm deep into my addiction and not yet ready to call it quits, lol!
