I’ve been fascinated with reptiles (especially snakes) since I was a little girl…and until I moved out of my mothers house I wasn’t allowed to keep any. I currently only have 2 snakes but I’ve owned a few others…the list includes: 2 ball pythons (one of which I currently have and have had for about 6 months-Frankie), 2 kingsnakes (one of which I currently have and have had for 2 years-Nayner), 4 Rough Green Snakes, A Garter Snake, a Red-tail Boa, and a few Copperheads. I’m considering eventually breeding ball pythons as a hobby and as a way to bring in extra money. Although they are one of the 4 largest snakes on the planet-Burmese Pythons are beutiful snakes and gentle as well and I’m looking forward to getting mine in November :) I want an Albino or Green Albino and his name is going to be Blanket!

How I did it: I flew to Columbia, Missouri where he was scheduled to have a booksigning and speak at a college seminar at Mizzou. My grandparents who live there bought tickets to the seminar 3 weeks in advance which was great because it ended up selling out of course. We got to the booksigning about an hour in advance and the line was already forming :) When it was my turn I shook his hand and told him that it was great to meet him an… Read how I did it…
Well, I haven’t even started this goal yet. I don’t know where to start. Well I mean, the beginning would be the obvious place to start…I think that’s the most difficult part of writing though-starting it. This may be one of my goals that’s gonna have to roll over to next years list…oh well :)
I absolutely love Jeff Corwin. I’ve been a fan of his work for a very long time. I’ve always loved the outdoors and wildlife…especially reptiles…especially snakes! I got his book for Christmas the year it came out and I’ve read it several times. I love the way it’s put together and it’s beautifully written. He’ll be in Colombia, Missouri next month for book signing and a seminar at Mizzou. I have grandparents there. I’m going! I’m too excited! I hope they’ll let me take my snake hook in for him to sign! Ahhh! And my book of course :)
