I just got my first baby Ball Python a few days ago, so I am new to this forum, and new to snakes.

I am an architecture student at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. (anyone else from around here? I like friends!). I am 19 (in two weeks) years old. I am originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan. When I was younger I had a Bearded Dragon, but have not had any reptiles for the past 5 years.

My other hobbies include: Sewing, drawing, some amateur photography, computers (woo linux!), and Japanese fashion.

Everyone here seems really kind and eager to help, which is great, because I am sure I will need lots of it!

for kicks, this is me:

Yes yes, I know I dress like a crazy person!
