Hello!

[donna4909]

Just making the customary introduction post. :D

My name is Donna, and I've always liked snakes. However, I never considered them as a pet due to their *ahem* dietary requirements... I've kept rats for over 8 years now, and they're my favorite animal. There's just no way I could feed them to a snake, even if they were already dead.

Then a few weeks ago, I found out that not all snakes need to eat rats. Yay for garters! *lol*

Now I've never had a snake before (or any reptile for that matter), so please bear with me. I'm still learning!
