Stephen's big adventure

Visit my oldest son's adventures into the Outback by visiting his blog. I don't know how he got so smart. He bought his first snake when he was 9 years old. He saved every penny of his own money. I knew then he was serious. We bought the set up equipment for his birthday. He used his own money to buy his food and kept his cage clean. That ball python lives in his office at University of Texas . He will probably out live us all. The moral of this story is , that if your child is passionate about something, run with it. People often asked me how I could stand having a snake in the house. I'm not afraid of snakes but my hubby is. If that child could save that much money and work that hard for it, how could I not allow it. His love for reptiles has led to graduate school so stick that in your hat all you nay sayers!
