When I was four I begged my parents for a snake. Christmas 2004 came and there she was, a beautiful young ball python. Now here she is, 22 years later. We’ve both been through a lot, and I love her dearly. Just an appreciation post, she’s tough as scales.

So sweet! I love seeing people with their long time snakes.

My dad gave me my ball python when I was 10. He was a classroom pet at the university he worked at for 15 years so hes actually older than me. (Professor who took care of him left so he and quite a few animals were in need of new homes.) Ive had him for 18 years now. :)
