Hi!
I joined because I just became a snake-mom!
She's my very first ball python, and though I did a ton of research, I found this forum to have the most useful and quality information.
I've always been intrigued by critters of the coldblooded variety, and as a child I nagged my parents for a pet snake until it drove them nuts, but sadly to no avail.
So, "adult" (hahaha nope. Just pretending, ya know.), and with my own house it was finally possible for me to get the pet I so long desired.
I spent approximately the equivalent of a Skyrim playthrough thinking about if I wanted a wild color, or one of those spiffy morphs.
I ended up with a lesser het desert ghost female, purchased from a local breeder, and named her Ripley. (Yes, I'm one of thise users that uses their actual pet's name as a username :') ).
I picked her up yesterday, to find she was going into shed at the breeder, so I hope (like a worried parent does) it goes okay! It's good that I get to inmediately see this pricess and learn how to handle it, but I hope she's not too stressed by the move and shed state combined.
Here she is!
Furthermore I'm just some nerd pretending to know how to adult. Big fan of Bioware games (and before anyone gets smart, I KNOW Skyrim isn't a Bioware game:p), motorcycle enthusiast, devourer of all things Star Wars or scifi related.
So yay, there it is!
