New girl here

[Trish Petersen]

Hi. All my life Ive been terrified of snakes...then one day I got brave and held step daughters Stimson...now proud owner of a Spotted Python I called Poppy. Sex unknown, but name can go both ways. Breeder thought it was a girl, but hadn’t done the sexing properly because it was only small. Looking forward to learning lots about these beautiful creatures.

Welcome to APS, and the world of reptile keeping. Similar story for us. My wife was scared of snakes, until she braved her fear; we now have pythons, monitors, and dragons.

@Trish Petersen Welcome to the addiction I hope you enjoy interacting with your Spotted Python and get many years of fulfilling ownership, i have a soft spot for the Spotty they have a great personality and tolerate most mistakes without too many problems, we here at APS have a saying "If there are no pictures it did not happen" so pictures of Poppy need to be put up as well as your Daughters Stimson. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) -ronhalling-
