LOL good answer.
For me it's that when I was a kid I used to love going out and finding all sorts of reptiles and amphibians in the swamps and creeks behind my house. Also when I got out of the Army I was in an extreme amount of pain due to a few medical conditions which thankfully have now been almost completely taken care of and I needed a companion animal that wouldn't jump all over the place and that I could just sit with and enjoy. So I got my first BP girl Selene. It was a great choice and one I would make again in a heartbeat. Now I've got 8 ball pythons, 6 corns, 3 hognoses and 2 kings! I couldn't be happier. I love my collection and they've actually helped me through some real tough times.
