well, i was 14, and dating this guy name Ian. I went to his house one day, and he was showing me his Ball Python, a normal female, and i thought she was the coolest thing on earth. I kept saying, "oh how adorable!! i want one!!" well, he bought me one. He told me i could just put her in a tub with water. period. sooo, i was at the herp shop, and noticed all of the heaters, substrate, etc. etc. and i decided to do a little research. And i came across BP.net. Well, i realized that i was basically slowly killing my poor snake, and i fixed everything up for him. After i got all his temps and set up right, i decided to get another snake. I was looking for a bigger snake though, so i got a Colombian RTB... and then...i discovered morphs of BPs. And...i pretty much have been broke ever scince. haha. I have a pied, and a het pied on the way, and i'm looking into getting a mojave and a pastel.
