I did it plainly because i had never been alowed to own snakes as a teen. When i moved out the first thing i did was buy a ball python het albino, and ive loved ball pythons ever since. After owning Beardies, anything is easy, so feeding once a week was a huge pull factor. I love all my pets to death, and haveing a snake has surely been something different, were all so lucky getting to own them and learning about them, they are just so great!
I adore my beardie, Norm...he's 12 now...older than dirt but still chases crickets with the best of 'em!
