Hello everyone. My name is Logan, I've been a member for about 1 month just never got around to introducing myself. I've always been a snake lover, I was born and raised in south east Florida. About a month ago I walked into a small reptile shop and was looking at the selection and I've always been facinated with Green Tree Pythons, but I figured that I would start with something alittle less aggresive for my first snake. So after looking around one of the co-owners came up to me and asked me if I needed any help. I explained what I was looking for and she helped me go through the different species. I got to hold a couple different ones and I heard them say "We just got in a clutch of new Ball Pythons." So I went over to take a look and the guy told me that one of the Ball Pythons was about 1 month old and he was a normal but looked like a pastel. So I dicussed what I would need for an enclosure and all the necessities. Now before I go any further, I live at home with my parents and younger brother, financially my dad can't aford to move or support the house so I stepped in to help. My parents and brother are deathly afraid of snakes, hint why I never owned one til now. But so on with the story, I came home smoked out with mom and talked with her, she told me that she knew I had been wanting one for a long time and that my family was being one sided about me getting one. So she called up my dad and told him I was taking her to the reptile shop to check out what kind of snake I wanted, my dad asked if I might be getting one and she told him yes, she told him that I had dropped everything to help them with the house and I never asked for anything in reutrn. He agreed and so did my brother. We went down to the shop where I met "levity" He was that special ball python the guy told me about earlier. She asked if she could hold him (while he was in my hands) I said sure and she asked how and I told her and then she fell in love. My mom absolutly loves him. Needless to say I got him and He has been a huge part of my life. Well I really look forward to talking to all of you.
