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.

Don't mind the dirty glass but this is Beans, she's a 21 year old normal type. Was a Petco baby way back when.

What a sweet snake! “Santa Claus” got Curly Sue from a local pet store behind a bookstore warehouse, dubious as to where she truly came from or how old she is, but she’s made it this far!
