Hello! My name is Kelly Davis, and I am doing an analysis of how people on ball-pythons.net create their online identity by using reading and writing. I am hoping to bring awareness to a community that I have observed from the outside and use it to further a scholarly conversation about learning through literacy in forums. I have a few questions for you to answer if you are willing! I hope to have you as a part of my study!

1. How do you earn reputation (the green rectangles under your username)/become a senior member?

2. How do you use reading and writing in your threads?

3. How have you created a personal identity on ball-pythons.net?

4. How did you learn the information you know now on ball pythons?

5. Have you used the forum to learn any new information? If so, detail what thread and how?
