despite how it may sound, i am not a risk taker, everything i do re: previously discussed activities, are v calculated actions done with a lot of thought - i do intend to be in it for the “long haul” - i have been keeping arachnids for 26+ years, and with this snake collection, it’s the realization of a lifetime dream that i didn’t think would be obtainable as i am exceptionally poor but now that i am here, i would absolutely say i have found my home in the animal kingdom, big snakes rule!
