Well I've worked in countless pet shops and Learned alot about how to care about them, but never wanted to delve into breeding them, because I fiqure it this way, I'll take exceptional care of them, and learn what I can about how to take care of them, But leave the breeding to the people who know exactly what they're doing. My first snake was a Ball Python who was sick and underweight and a problem feeder. Someone decided they didnt want it anymore and this guy was going to kill it. Instead of letting him do that, I offered to take him in. I knew absolutely nothing at all about snakes at the time. I immediately took him to the vet and found he was anemic and needed a blood tranfusion and he was in fact a he. I found a donor snake from a pet store I used to frequent, took him in, he was anemic too. So we put both the snakes on medicine, we had to learn how to give shots, he had to have a soaking tub to lay in, We learned alot. By we i mean my roomie and i. The roomie kept the snake when we parted. I then got latched onto a burmese who was being fed one small mouse a month and was six months old. I took her for a steal, from there I just adopted other snakes that just either needed help or I found interesting. I've had a gopher, the burmese, several cornsnakes, all of which stayed with my ex, with the exception of the burmese which we found a very good home for, because well, she was highly aggressive and well It hurt. I waited quite awhile before getting frosty and well now nothing will ever make me give him up.
