    Bumblebee Ball Python (NERD)

    I just figured I'd show off my female bee from NERD with a back story. I purchased this beautiful snake shortly after my Great Grandmother's death. I just fell in love with this snake and wanted to give it a special name. So I named her "Bea" after my Great Grandmother, Beatrice. I called my grandmother, Grandma Betty. So I orginally wanted to name her Betty, but after her funeral, going through some things, we (my family) dicovered pens which had been forgotten about that my Grandmother used at work (she worked into her late 70's). They read "If you are reading this, you have just stolen Bea's pen." She had these specially made because many co-workers would take her pens. I thought it was cute to change Bee to Bea, and also I was hoping for little help from my Grandmother on the odds of "bea's" future clutches, as she always took extreame interest in my snakes, even when she developed alzheimers in her old age. So I dedicate this beautiful creature to my very missed Grandma Betty, Thanks Guys
