Here's my deal... I come from NZ so I have never ever seen snakes until I moved here! The first snake I ever touched was a gigantic olive python. She was amazingly cute. I fell in love with snakes right there and then. You could almost hear my heart miss a beat as I touched a snake for the first time ever. In fact, not only was it the first snake I ever touched, but the first snake I ever saw!
This was followed by a BHP and a Boa (at a zoo - incidentally that was where the olive and BHP were).
Then in the wild I saw a scrubby... that scared me... 5 metres long, head high in the air... Funny thing is (night time) I nearly walked straight into it... I've seen plenty since and including deathies, water snakes, tree snakes... blah blah blah....
But my favourite snake of all time without a doubt, is sitting on her heat mat in her tank right behind me... Peyote Python... ahhhh... she's the bestest snake in the whole world! Oh... that means my favourite snakes are Spotteds!!!
