Why Do You Have Snakes In Your Life?

[limey]

I was a late starter with reptiles. I was always an "animal boy" growing up. I would always beg my Mum and Dad to go to farms and parks and places where we could see animals.

Fast forward 15 years, I got my zoology degree and became a zookeeper. In the last 4 years, my passions shifted from mammals more to snakes. There are so many species of snakes and so much to learn! Not to mention they are some of the prettiest creatures in the animals kingdom.

And, as somebody else just pointed out... I find it "soothing" to have them out. Couldn't have said it better myself. Snakes actually make good companions... who would have thought it?

They are like chicken soup for the soul.
