    Re: What got you into BPs?

    Almost three years ago I walked into a reptile store with my girlfriend and told the owner that I need a commitment in my life. That's how i got my Normal girl Faye.

    Over time, I acquired four more. Personally, I don't think it's an addiction but definitely a passion. I enjoy each one of my snakes because each of them have their own personality and quirks. I think about possibly breeding to make amazing morphs but we'll see if that happens.

    Here's where I might upset some folks... I feel like some people go a little bit overboard with the whole Ball Python "bug". I see so many threads on here where people who have barely bought their first BPs instantly looking to breed and start buying snakes like M&Ms. In my eyes it's irresponsible. These same people post threads on here months later how they're getting rid of their BPs for one reason or another.

    If you're new, get a couple of BPs and enjoy them. Learn how to properly care for them (which takes time and experience) and then decide if breeding is something you're truly interested in.

    Sorry for the rant..
