I haven't posted in quite some time (life has been fairly crazy the last year and a half...) but I've been creeping in the background. I'm a creeper lol. The site isn't quite the same as it was when I was so active, but the people here are still as friendly, helpful, and caring as ever. It's still pretty incredible to see. I don't know that, in any other circle of pet related forums or groups, anyone is near as kind as in the herp world.
After some unfortunate events, I am snakeless, again. I sincerely miss my babies, every day. I never, in a million years, would have thought that I could have such strong, emotional feelings towards a snake. Nor my husband (who always told me it was the one pet I couldn't have lol!). I mean, don't get me wrong. I adore all of my pets and they are all spoiled rotten and I do everything in my power to assure they are provided with the best, no matter if it's a dog, a bird, a hermit crab, or a fish. But I didn't think that having a snake (or snakes) would be what it was. I figured it would be more like having a fish. I adore my fish, they are beautiful and bring me joy. But they aren't near as affectionate as other pets (minus their gratitude for the ability to stuff their faces or chase your finger around the glass lol). My snakes were close in comparison to my dogs. We adored them. Heck, my husband was completely won over by them. Losing them was very hard. I definitely miss having them around.
But I love seeing everyone's beautiful snakes! Adore seeing photos and videos of all the gorgeous morphs and cute faces. Which brings me to the point of the long, drawn out, nearly pointless post (haha). I just wanted to say thank you, to everyone in this forum, that have made it what it is. That has made my experience in the world of snakes what it is. I've made, what I consider to be, a few amazing friends here. It's fantastic to see the love, the help and care, the advice, given from this forum that is rare in so many other places. Even with the difference of opinion or practices, there is very rarely a rude or demeaning behavior. Everyone is helpful and kind. So thank you, again, for being amazing people. And thanks, if you made it all the way through this boring, windy post. Lol! Hope you all have an amazing day!!
