Hi everyone!
Thank you for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it. Thanks for telling me what they were. I was having a brain fart and completely forgot. The Burmese was very intimidating but after watching the boyfriend hold him for a while he seemed okay. You can tell in my face though with the big one I was very hesitant. I was also very curious. I was like "What can happen in here?" So I just went for it. He's massive. He's all muscle and a little heavy. I'm not sure how much he weighs though.

The owners of the snakes are going to bring them by the house so my little 3 and 5 year old nephews can check them out as well. My 3 year old nephew is really funny because he knows I'm afraid of them so he said "No, that's too scary" but I know he'll be entranced by them. (We'll take pics of their first meeting)

I think my favorite was the Red Tail Boa. He was very friendly. At first I was like "OKay, what's he doing now?" but than I got really comfortable. I may own one of those eventually. Like I said though i'd like at least 100 hours of handling and care time before I even step into snake ownership. It seems like you MUST know exactly what you are getting into and know how to keep yourself safe at all times.

I did have one concern. I was reading stories about snakes escaping from their cages. How do you prevent such a thing from ocurring? Anyways I really plan on getting my hands on as many snakes as I can and checking em out all over the place. I'm really curious now!!

Can you all tell me what got you into snakes in the first place? I think mine was my initial "Fear" of them that piqued my interest. I think I am curious about what I fear. I like to study things and ask a lot of questions. Let me know if I get annoying. lol.

Anywho, thank you so much for the warm welcome. It is very appreciated!

I think I'll kick off my shoes and relax here for a while.
