I actually started with King snakes, got about five of them and then went to NARBC in Tinley Park and discovered my love for ball pythons. I made the switch 100%, not even planning on breeding my King snakes. I do have one Banana California King snake that I really like as a pet and probably won't ever get rid of her, she loves to be handled and is very inquisitive. I also have a pair of retics just to dabble in something different. I also have been looking at getting a couple boas but the thing that is holding me back is that I'd have to get two more large enclosures which is a major expense and takes up room that I don't have at the moment.
