I live in Madison, but I've had a hard time finding people here who like snakes, too. I filled out information at a reptile show here for folks interested in joining a herp club, but it hasn't started up yet. My friend Marcia is the only person I know that really likes snakes. Perhaps you could start a club of your own and advertise it at libraries, online, newspaper, etc? Just thinkin'.

What snakes do you own?: Right now I only have ball pythons....but I've owned many different kinds in the past

Why do you keep snakes?: I've always loved nature and animals. I broke my arm when I was four and my parents asked if there was anything I REEEALLY wanted, and I said a snake.
