Ha! I am a 40 year old woman that is absolutely obsessed with snakes and rats. I have kept ball pythons since 2008 and I wouldn't have it any other way. When my mother found out I had snakes she freaked and said that hoped one of them got out at night and strangled me to death. So much love! My mother is old school and about as ignorant as a person can get. I also have had friends that think I am insane for keeping snakes and rats as pets. To be honest, I don't really care what anyone thinks of me anymore. I love my animals more then I love most people.
