I have been keeping snakes for over 1/2 my life now. Started back in the early 90s.
I always wonder why I like them so much and I really don't know.
I'm interested in all kinds of animals really and work with them everyday.
I was always in trouble for playing in the creek when I was a kid. Catching salamanders, snakes, bugs etc.
A few years back I went through a pretty big rescue and rehab phase. All type of critters. Then that died out for a while.
I guess now that I'm getting older and spend more time at home, my animal collection has exploded.
