I grew up in Alaska where there were no wild snakes My first exposures to them were in 7th and 9th grade science classes, when we had boa constrictors. I enjoyed handling them, and of course always loved the mice and rats we raised to feed them.
I had my own snakes when I went to college in Abilene, Texas, and met some real live herpers (fellow students). I have had them off and on every since. I can credit my 21 year old daughter for helping me get back into them. When she was in middle school, she wanted to get one, and I jumped at the chance.
I also have a hard time describing to non-herpers why I love snakes as pets. So, I don't try anymore!
