I was always catching gardner snakes when I was little but my mother was deathly afraid of them.

My first real pet snake was a '07 normal corn, named byrd, which I got last year when I moved out on my own. My collection has since grown to include a '06 cali king and a '05 normal ball. Seems friends and neighbors thought since I had one they could foist there unwanted snakes off on me. I'm okay with that I love all three of them.
