I was first introduced to reptiles when I was when I was at a church event that had an “Noah’s ark” petting zoo. They had a local pet store, Aqualand, come out with some of the animals they had in stock. The owner, Mike, came with some of the many exodic animals he had in stock. Among which, he brought many reptiles and invertebrates. He had Ball pythons, Boas, scorpions and some rodents. I remember getting to hold a burmese python, he was white and yellow and practically the size of me at the time. I talked to mike for at least 2 hours about keeping reptiles and where I should start. He suggested that I get a ball python as my first snake as they are very docile, very easy to take care of and only needing minimal heat.
