What got you into the hobby?

[Georgia]

As a child...age about 3 i looked at books about snakes. My mother got me a ribbon snake and i caught garter snakes all through my childhood. Some of my earliest memories involve snake books and chasing them. I always took to vipers as a child and told my grandmother that i am getting a Bushmaster lol. My mother and grandmother never really liked snakes but would read snake books to me all the time. I had a major addiction to snakes since i was very young.

I love all animals, the outdoors, and bugs... always have. When i look at my snakes and take care of them it gives me peace. A sense of calmness. Its hard to explain what it does for me. So yeah, im 28. Been into snakes for 25 years.
