Dont know if I am to say I am sorry or congrats
Your now officially a Herper

Just have to look forward to having a large sucker latch on in a feeding response & refuse to let go for 10 minutes or so now!

Well I am yet to get my first snake, but will soon, and im so nervous that it will hurt, especially when it gets big.
Is it like pain pain or jus like, only hurts for a few minutes??
