Hi I’m Jackob.
I was one of those who had a phobia of snakes. Then I got a snake. My Hercules. Didn’t happen over night but we both grew together. Now I’m obsessed and have three royal/balls. Herc is an orange ghost and 18m old. Affy is a lemon blast and 10m old and Zeus is a year old and a ‘lithium’ cinnamon butter. Also thinking about taking on a super fire caramel albino female.
I love to hear about people who make the shift from fear to joy! Welcome to this wonderful community, Jackob. Your snakes are charming. I especially love the middle picture with you and one of your buddies.
Welcome to the community @jackoutthebox !
Beautiful babies! You’ve definitely come to the right place to learn. There are so many experienced keepers here and so much to learn.
Congratulations on getting over your phobia.
I had the same with snakes when I was young. I had a couple of cousins who thought it would be funny to grab me and act like they were going to throw me in a snake pit we found out in the desert of Arizona.
It took decades to overcome that.
Hey there @jackoutthebox! A great big welcome to you and so glad you found this forum family! Your snakes and pictures are great! If you stick around you will make a lot of friends and learn a ton of things! For me this place is addicting and I am on here a LOT!
One word of caution though. There is a boa “club”, a BP “club” and an STP “club”. You are already in the BP club but you will be urged to join the boa and STP club! Lol!
