Hey everyone! I just joined this forum; someone on a yahoo snake board told me to come here, so...here I am!

I guess I should introduce myself, huh? Well, my name's Katie, I'm 16 years old, soon to be 17. I live in Southern NJ with a fair amount of pets. I personally have 2 parakeets, 1 hamster, 1 huge rabbit, 6 rats (yes, pets!), and 2 mice (also pets!), a dog and 3 geckos my dad cought last summer in New Orleans. The family pets are 2 dogs, 3 cats, a chinchilla, and a lot of pets.

I've liked snakes ever since I was little. We never had one before, my mom wouldnt let us (me or my brother). I remember when I was about 3 or 4 and I was at my babysitters a black snake crawled up my dress-haha. My babysitter didnt understand why I didnt scream, cry, or run away....My neighbors used to have a ball python, and when I was younger I'd always go over there to see it. Just recently I decided that I wanted one. Convincing my mom would be the problem. Within a couple days, I convinced her to let me get one. So I picked out a ball python. I heard they make good starter snakes, and I like their size and look. So within a couple months, I'll have my very own snake. Yah!

If youre wondering how I could have pet mice and rats, and possibly be able to feed a ball python, it won't bother me if theyre frozen. I just wont be able to do live, or have to kill them myself. :rolleyes:

Well, you sure have a lot of pets. If you're really attached to your Rats and Mice, than I suggest you have a good lock on your Ball's cage, or she/he will have quite a feast, snagging them one by one:grab: .

Hopefully you can take full advantage of this site, I sure do.

Enjoy.:sun:

Well, the rat cage is impossible to get to, because they have locks on them, but the mice I might have a problem with because theyre just in a tank. I'll make sure I get a lock for the snakes cage or weights so it's impossible for him to get out. I dont need him coming in contact with my 16lb rabbit who has free range of my room!

Anyway, thanks everyone for the warm welcomes. :)
