Very Interesting post!
1. What type of snake(s) do you own?
ball pythons mainly, starting on carpet pythons, some corns, sand boa and a pair of rat snakes
2. What sparked your interest in the particular snake(s) you own?
I always liked snakes as a kid. Had a garter for a while at my dad's house. My b/f wanted a bp one day, and from that day on, I was hooked!
3. Do you have help with your snake(s)?
(This is NOT a married/single question! Some of us have snakes & husbands/boyfriends that want nothing to do with them!)
Only if I ask for it and have a good reason...LOL. Tho I made it clear that snake tending was my responsibility, and I hate asking for help for something that is my hoby
4. How tall are you?
5'8
5. Does your choice of snake have anything to do with your size/age?
Not really.
6. Does your choice of snake have anything to do with your security/safety factor?
In a way, yes. I would love a burm, but when they are huge, I thik I would have issues with moving them. The only person who wold help is my b/f, who is not as comfy with snakes as I am. So the big snakes like burms and retics are out of my league.
7. What is your age group?
crap, didnt copy the age group, but i am 29
8. How many of you have had your love of the scaley ones ruin a relationship ?? Friend? Lover?? IN LAW??
Well, no one comes over to our house anymore. We dont really invite people over- to many refusals. Tho, i think its more the rodent colony's fault. I think my b/f gets jelous in a way of the snakes since i cancel plans if i need to tend to the snakes, or can't do things if its afeeding night.
9. Do you have an "if I die" list, of who gets, or what to do with the "collection" once you pass
Its something i want to do, Right now, I just told steve if I die, sell the snakes. At first, he was like I would keep them and tend to them in your memory, but I told him not too- explained that it would just be too much for him. Now he agrees since i got much more snakes and he's going to college.
Kinda got another one- any single ladies, how do you break the news to potential b/f's? Thi sis something i pondered- what if I had all these snakes and was dating someone... how would they react? I can honestly say if tjhey did not like snakes and did not want to ever be in the same house as one/many, I would call the relationship quits- not to be mean, but ijust don't see how it would work out.
very interesting post and a fun read!
