I would have to say that I loved reptiles from day one. I always thought they were neat animals that moved in a fun way. My first incounter I can remember was in kindergarden. A local rescue group had brought some animals and reptiles in to show the school and then brought in a very large burm. she was normal colored and was covered with huge scars. The story behind her was (that I can remember) that they found her in a black trash bag behind an old tabaco store or something and she was cut from her neck to her vent and had burns where some one put out cigars and ciggretes on her. I think it was at that moment that I wanted that very snake so I could lover her and hold her every day to show her that not all humans were bad. but god that was SOOO long ago...

I got my very first snake over 3 years ago from a guy that should have never had a snake. and that was when I found out that all the love and hugs in the world wouldnt show a snake that humans wern't all bad. LOL he ended up being traded for my first BP Baby and I have been an adict ever sence!....and I just bought another BP today
