Well I can't say that i grew up intresting in reptile, i never thought my life would turn out the way it has. I basically woke up one morning with this idea of looking into getting a snake for our apartment, now i was lucky enough to have a boyfriend who supported my ideas no matter how little i knew about what i was getting myself into. We went around to local pet stores and started doing reasearch. Now at the time, being a girl i was scared of anything over two feet and thought that would be tooooo big and i would never want to handle it. We started looking into Corn snakes and in fact the first Ball python i say was just a little over 3 feet and i turned and ran away from its cage saying it was just to big. Now my boyfriend loved balls from the get go. He really liked the shape of the heads, which explains why he loves our boas now. So we looked into both balls and corns, but i finally came face to face with Larry... He was about 5 months old and was the "left overs" from the large import of balls which the store had recieved in mid-summer. he balled up in my hand and that was it, we took him home. Since then we have purchase many other snakes but Larry will always hold a special place in my heart. I am expecting the arrival of my 100% het for albinos anytime this month and look forward to my new breeding project. To date i have One White Lipped Python, 2 Hogg Island Boas , 2 normal Ball Pythons , and 2 100% hets .. But thats our story... I remember when we first had Larry every little thing had to be perfect, he had a new cage and new everything before he needed it, we spoiled him rotten but hey he deserves it..



Sincerely,

Rose and Steve
