Ball Python Therapy

I put this in General because I really have no idea where it would go because it doesn't really fit anywhere else.

Coles notes - When I was in my first year of university, I developed a blood clot in my leg. Basically, there is nothing they could do except pump me full of painkillers and blood thinners and hope it broke up. This spectacularly crappy treatment made it so that I a) had a fragment of clot go to my lung (although I was lucky, it didn't go to my heart or my brain). B), my muscles were cut off from oxygenated blood for so long that my muscles in my leg atrophied. Causing me daily, chronic pain. I get to have a lovely cocktail of drugs every day to try and alleviate the pain. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

The pain also makes me stressed, and the tense body isn't good for the pain either.

I haven't found anything to help me de stress as much as playing with Nagini does. Or even just chilling on the computer with her sitting on my chest as she is right now.

Snake therapy is the absolute best.

Yes pets are great for getting rid of stress. You can pet a dog or in your case your bp,and just feel the stress just melt away. They are great therapist aren't they.

Sometimes when I'm on the computer I make a den out of a small blanket on my lap and let my juvenile girl, Armin sleep in it. I always look forward to holding her, and miss her when she's going through the shedding process, haha. (:

The one thing I look forwards to in my Science class is holding my teacher's 4 year old garter snake. I'll try to take pics sometime. His name is Otis and he's chill.

I love holding my bps after a long stressful day plus those cute little face always make me happy.
