These are all great stories!!

I've always loved snakes, but it never occured to me to keep any... until one day I got a call about a neglected ball python. It totally blew my mind... a ball python was such a foreign concept to me. But I'm up for any critter in distress, so while a friend of mine went to get her, I got on the internet and started reading... and that was the end of my snake-free life. LOL

Over the next few months, in my travels over the internet reading everything I could about snake care, I came across an ad for a Puget Sound garter, and HAD TO HAVE SOME!!!!! Then I found this site and lived happily ever after!! :-)
