I remember getting reptile magazines as a kid and they would have a picture of an albino ball python hanging from a tree or something to make it look exotic. I thought that they looked awesome with the shape of the head and how unlike a lot of snakes there was a defined mouth, head, neck, body and tail. In my mind I thought that was where it was at. Having a ton of snakes that were all special in their own rights. I wish I could remember what magazines I was looking at but the image of an albino ball python will forever be burned in my brain. I used to collect garter snakes from under boards in the field next to my house and some of them would make your jaw drop today even. Back then I think the only ball python morph was really the albino (early 90's so not sure) and no one was into garter snakes. I would find albinos, ones with thick blue lines down their back, some with red lines, yellow lines, checkered black and grey with various colored stripes, some were noticeably larger than they should have been. Looking back I wonder how that much variety happened in the wild, mind blowing. I recently discovered that I do like snakes and am in a position now to do what I wanted to do as a kid which is breed and take care of these "super exotic" creatures. I would look in those magazines at all of the breeding equipment and bins and wanted to have all of that stuff so bad. I'm determined now to get into snake breeding and I have some solid ideas that I think will work out great.
