Reptile fan, new to the forum

[Bubbleguns]

As if the title isn't obvious, why else would I be joining a reptile forum?

My history with snakes is not exactly colourful. I have personally never fully owned a reptile of my own, but I have shared some with siblings. The snakes that have come through my life have all been registered rescues, and some only stayed for a short time. My step brother when I was younger worked at a reptile zoo, and because of the space and terrariums we had in our house, now and then he would get something cool that would stay with us for a little while before it was finally permanently placed in a zoo.

My history is as follows:

Snake #1 - Female Ball Python (Snickers)

She was rescued from a family who obviously had no idea what they were doing, likely as a 6 year old child I could have raised a snake better(though probably still not well enough) than they did. I don't quite remember the length or weight of the snake when we got her but she had quite a few issues. She was being raised in a 4 gallon tank, that was nothing but glass. No heat sources, in a basement and she wasn't doing well when we got her. When my brother finally had her up to better health she was fully registered and placed with a permanent family that has taken care of her last time I heard. She was about 2 years old when she left our house.

Snake #2: Female Ball Python (Ashta)

Again another rescue but I don't remember hearing the details of how this one was found, or anything of the sort. She was 2 years when we got her and this was before getting rid of Snickers. It didn't take long for her to get back to health and becoming a happy snake but after about 9 months with her we found her a permanent home after registering her as well.

Snake #3: Male Rosa Blood Python (King)

The name was carried over from the previous owners, King was rescued when my brother's friend had to move out of his house and into a one bedroom basement apartment. He came with the tank. Already registered, it only took us 9 months to place him, and we were only looking for about a month.

Snake #4: Male Ball Python (Eros)
Another rescue, the same story pretty much as Snickers. We brought him back to health, and after a year and 2 months he was registered and placed with a good family.

Snake #5: (Cannot recall the sex) Albino Ball Python (Jello)
By far my favourite of the snakes when I was a kid, bright colours, and quite an active snake. We kept Jello for only a year before the reptile zoo had her placed with them.

That is my history with snakes. I have also had 2 Bearded dragons. I had them for 4 years before moving caused me to find them a new home.

I joined the forum because it's been about 10 years since I have had a reptile, and I am planning as soon as I get the ability to set up a terrarium and everything to again find myself a reptile pet. I haven't yet decided on what I want.
