I thought snakes were pretty cool when I was younger. Turns out my dad is not to found of snakes, which might explain why we stopped for any turtle that we found, and never any snakes or anything like that.

I touched a big boa when I was in grade school, and learned for myself how they felt, etc, how they work.

I've thought snakes were interesting for a while, but I'd never gotten into keeping snakes until about 2 years ago. I got the chance to observe a couple of pet ball pythons outside, with their owner. Not long after that I purchased my first snake (which was a ball python).
