Ball Pythons are my LIFE!

JoshMolone Sep 06, 2010 09:53 PM

I just thought I would share my thoughts with you all.
I don't know what made me start thinking about this, but I can remember when I was 6-7 thinking of names for Morphs that haven't came out yet!
I used to talk to my brother about importing some insane new Morph and it becoming the new 'thing'. Like the new Pastel, everyone has to have one.
I remeber going though "The Complete Ball Python", just dumbfounded by the Ball Pythons Kevin had.
By age 9 I was already doing Boy Scout and School Reptile Presentations. It amazed me, and still does, too see how little people know about Reptiles in general.
Ive had numerous people, adults and kids, tell me, "That they will quit killing them, because they never knew they were so interesting". Or something around that manner.
Me and my brother were showing some kids the other day some differnt Water Snake species, all of which they said they had killed before because they thought they were Water Moccasins. But I gave them my little Snake Lecture, and hopefully they will quit killing them!
I know nobody wants to hear my Life Story, but this was just on my mind.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful year, lets see some Hatchling Pictures.
Cheers!

Same boat man. I'm hoping my "WTF" ball proves out and I can breed it into EVERYTHING. Haha.

My desktop is a pic of my new mojave female taken with my new camera.

I would love to do this for a living, even if it was working for commission for a large breeder. (Though I prefer my own company)

Yes I go to the room all the time just to take pictures of the newest snakes over and over again.

Here's the background on my Computer:
