Spring Fling.

Wow. Your enclosures and snakes are amazing. How long have you been keeping?

Thank you, and not long at all.

We, my son and I, plus my daughter to some extent, started when my wife and I bought our son a royal python. My join date 05-28-12 was the day we bought him his snake for a 9th birthday present. The join date and purchase were 2 days before his actual B-day. (cage and equipment purchased weeks before) We, were both against the idea, I especially was as I knew I'd end up being the primary care giver.

I ended up captivated by the little royal and got the dreaded snake bug.

I was a quick study and turned somewhat fanatical when it came to the true biology and natural habits of the animals.

I bought and read books and other media, studied on line, published studies, and ended up making a good friend who track, finds, sexes and documents the data of certain species of native snakes in our area. He keeps locality, Pokigron Suri BCCs and Argentine BCOs also.

In the end, the 5 years have been rather rewarding. I have no interest in breeding my animals. I actually don't have a single matching species. The collection of 4 is rather diverse, at least within the boa/python family.

You could say, the relaxing aspect of a fun snake room and pleasing, display caging is what I like. Plus the personal preference I have for semi arboreal and somewhat active snakes makes the viewing better IMO.

My Utopia.
