I am not the only woman in Bubba’s life. In fact, he has other “babies,” sometimes with more emotional needs.
Krie is the partner of Skimpy before. Since Skimpy’s death, Krie is the oldest baby in the family. Krie has a lot of poise and class that probably were brought about by age.
Boei, The Ball Python
When we were just dating, Bubba couldn’t stop talking about how he wanted to get a ball snake. Everything is a sign to get a ball snake. We were at EDSA Shangri-la one time and we see an ad poster of a watch that has the word, “BALL” with a water snake and this is the forth-telling SIGN. He tries to connect everything as signs that he’s supposed to buy a ball snake. After a while, I relent and let him be. There were a few chances where he almost bought one but decided against it. Finally, the perfect ball snake came our way and I agreed that this is what he’s been dying to have.
Grumpy, The Hognose Snake
This hognose snake was actually a trade-off. Bubba traded off his two precious skinks for this baby who is throwing a fit all the time. He’s the crankiest in the bunch. He bites the hand that feeds him.
GTP, The Green Tree Python
GTP named after George St. Pierre but with a T instead of an S. I was in protest getting another snake but when I saw GTP’s uber yellow skin, it was so beautiful we both couldn’t resist. He reached adolescence last year that made his yellow skin turn to green.
Jigsaw, The Milksnake
Of course, men go for the “young.” This is why this milksnake used to Bubba’s favorite, more than me probably. Jigsaw is the latest addition in the family, which makes him the youngest. He celebrated his 1st year anniversary just recently. He is named after our favorite thriller movie, SAW.
I think though that Boei remains to be his all-time favorite because that snake is really attached to him. They have this special “bond.” Boei is also special to me because he reminds me of days when we were just starting out.
