Looks like you have an oval face and if so you can wear any hairstyle you want and it will look good. BTW it looks nice on you now, but I think it would be pretty if it were longer. Guess I haven't helped you much!

Why do you keep snakes?: I've always been fascinated with them. As a tot, I brought my mom a "worm", which to her horror was actually a baby rattlesnake. Always wanted a snake, but feeding them live gives me the heebeejeebees. Once I found out they could eat f/t, I finally got a baby corn that promptly died due to mites. I bought a ball python and now I've got loads of them.

What other animals do you have?: Husband, 21 yr old daughter, horses, dogs, cats, tortoise's, blue tongue skinks, frog, rabbits, guinea pigs, 2 African Grey parrots, parakeets and a glass lizard.

What other hobbies do you enjoy?: glass beadmaking, crochet, knit, polymer clay, ceramics, pottery, beadwork

Anything else to add?: DH is retired Air Force after 24 yrs. I was military spouse for 23 of those years and we raised a great military brat. Spent 3 years in Okinawa Japan and DH did Korea, Australia and Afghanistan. DH is now working the civilian sector and I attempt to make and sell my artwork as my bad back and critters allow. Much of my work is donated to various Charity. Some of my designs/items have been published by magazines, calendars and books.

Awesome! I am also an artist, but have not done much for a while nor have I tried to sell anything, need to get back into it.
