Hi Everyone

Hi, I'm Sara. I'm from Ohio. I'm new to the forum but I've been checking it out for a couple weeks now. You all seem to know a lot about snakes. I was just given my first snake a few months ago (he's an adorable cali king) and now I'm in love with snakes. I want many more. I just really want to learn more about them!

Re: Hi Everyone

Haha, great analogy Rob. Yes, snakes are very addictive. I started out with one ball python 5 years ago and now I have a nice big collection and am setting up to breed them. May I suggest a carpet python as your next snake? I feel that they are one of the best beginner pythons out there- they are easy to care for, pretty hardy, generally docile, and get large enough to be impressive without getting unmanageable.

There's know need fighting it. Just give into the urge to collect many, many wickly cool snakes. LOL P.S. Willow right carpet are some of the swets snake there are IMO.

Re: Hi Everyone

some of us go way off the deep end, fill the house with snakes, start a dozen web sites and launch forums.

I was Google searching "obsessed" and my picture popped up

Re: Hi Everyone

Thanks for such a warm welcome everyone! I guess I'm not too crazy or the only one obsessed.
Willow, I will look into the carpet python. I was thinking just another colubrid...been falling in love with the mexican blacks, didn't really think I had enough experience to handle a python.
