After always playing with lizards and slow-worms when I grew up in Germany the idea of owning a pet snake was always at the back of my mind ... one day (approx age 14/15) I came across a 'first snake' book in waterstones and just had to buy it .... this became my bible and as it spoke so fondly of Garters I finally ended up with two lovely ribbon snakes for my SYS project
... and that's how it started
