I am a reptile enthusiast. *Confession* I grew up with and have an irrational fear of snakes. I always wanted an Iguana or corn snake but I was never allowed. Now I'm married with a 3 year old and a little over 2.5 years ago, I decided I wanted to cure my fear of snakes. I also wanted a real reptile experience (Owning a couple fire belly toads when my wife and I dated just wasn't cutting it). I did some homework and just like every other noob, I wanted a ball python. I purchased a male normal BP hatchling for 30$ and was hooked. I wish I owned and could afford to care for more animals but knowing very little and enjoying the education as I pursued BPs, I began to build a small collection. I currently own 5 breeder snakes (2.3 combinations of pastel, fire, VPI Axanthic, and clown) and just hatched out my first clutch of 7 eggs (07/27). VPI Axanthic pastel x VPI Axanthic pastel. 0.0.6 Axanthic pastels and 0.0.1 super pastel ax which was amazing to see. I intend to be a reputable hobby breeder who enjoys working with select genetics and producing a few small scale QUALITY BP clutches each year.

On a side note, I love working with snakes now and other than my uncontrollable natural reflexes when they strike, I feel no fear handling them. In fact, its been such a rush getting comfortable with snakes that I'm seeking education and experience so that in a few years, I will be capable of doing venomous snake relocating. I live in AZ and know of way to many snakes dying because of other peoples irrational fear.

Thanks for reading. If you want to know more, hmu. :thumbsup:
