Kerig W. Pope

My name is Kerig (pronounced Care-ig) and I have a recent interest in Ball Pythons as a hobby and eventually for breeding. Five years ago I developed a nervous system disease which took over 2 years and 11 doctors to finally give me a diagnosis; CRPS or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. This disease eventually worsened making it difficult, and at most times impossible, to walk without pain. Herping as a hobby has helped me to better cope with my disease and its associated pain. Holding and caring for these peaceful and beautiful animals calms me mentally, calms my nerves, thus relaxing my pain! If you would like to add me as a friend, please feel free to do so.
