Been browsing on the forums for a few weeks now while I do research, and while I don't have a ball yet, soon. We're doing a small trip next month and don't quite feel comfortable getting a snake until after we get back. In the meantime, that gives me plenty of time to poke around, collect things, and try to set up the tubs for our to-be noodle child.
As for proper introductions, I usually go by 'Burd' on most social media lmao. Been wanting a snake since I was about six, I think; even though I lived in town, there was a garter snake that took up shack in one of the bushes in my yard and had a heck ton of babies. My mom was kind of terrified, but that just instantly delighted me. Any opportunity after that in which I was presented with a snake, I wanted to hold it. (Even the venomous ones.... didn't really know much better. Luckily the nice folks at the local Reptile World were pretty patient with me.)
My username's just for sillies tho, like I saw that 'Starscream' wasn't taken and was like MUST NAB NOW BYE.
So. Yep. I'll probably continue lurking and just ask questions occasionally. And post pics of my baby whenever we get them. :3
