This is me (left), Circa 2000, Cleveland Ohio, holding the tail of an Albino Burm. The moment captured here is my very first exposure to snakes or reptiles in general. Being taught to fear snakes as a child, I think you can tell from my expression that this was a life changing moment.
Shortly after this I was gifted a rough green snake. Which led into BPs, and eventually into what I think is the most beautiful species.
It's been said many times. Educate the future generation, so that they are able to see through the sensationalized nonsense that is passed off as truth.
This is a key factor in preserving our right to keep these animals.
Feel free to share photos or stories of your first experiences with snakes or reptiles.
