man, snakes was one of my biggest hobbies ever.. i'm glad i dont do it no more and finally grew out of it. i havent had a pet snake since 98?? i always wanted to get back into it, but i changed my mind, i spent my whole life having snakes and turtles. i'm just done with em. i'll still catch em if i cross paths with some, just to show off my herp catching skills and knowledge, but i let em go right after.
there was a time when i wanted to own a reticulated python. i think about it now and say why? what the fuck would i do with a snake that gets as long as my house? fuck that noise..
also, when i lived in florida as a kid i was all about catching gators.. i was so stupid, though, was totally prepared to catch anything i wanted and was equipt with the skills, it was just a foolish act.. anything could of happened to me along the banks of streams, lakes and swamps.
florida wasn't ready for a jersey boy to come down there and show em how to catch reptiles..
and i made money selling snakes to the skin head kids in the neighborhood cause they didn't know how to catch things.
