I think I've always been into snakes just knew my parents wouldn't want one in the house. One day someone throws out a 30 gallon fish tank i see it and know right away I want a reptile. At first I was looking at chameleons but realised they're not that simple to take care so that went nowhere. I had the tank just sitting around and it's killing me that it's empty. Finally one day me and my girl go to stay at my parents house in pa and go hiking. I figure let me bring the tank and hope I find something. Well, as luck has it I find a garter snake and caught it. Put dirt in the tank and made it look nice. I stop at walmart on the way back home to my parents and pick up some groceries. I get home unload the car put the tank on the cart and put groceries on and around it. Bring it in the house and my parents are helping with the bags and they see the tank but dnt really acknowledge it. They finally realize I have a snake and am not at all that happy. They weren't gonna tell me to throw it out so it's been in my room since. After a few days of having it I want another. The snake was a little crazy and bit me so I wanted something calmer and bigger. Before you know it I'm stuck between a ball python and a carpet python. Decided on the BP and while at work placed an order online from a breeder sun and it arrived wed. Couldnt be happier with her. I just told my parents the other tank is for the garter snake when I clean the tank. The BP is always in its hide anyway so it's not like they see her. Now I'm on this forum everyday reading things and looking at all the diff morphs non stop. My girl gets annoyed sometimes and says I talk about my snakes more then her. Lol.
Sorry for that being so long. It's way different typing on a phone then on a computer. My mind thinks differently. Lol
