When Sarah Ritchie (@jeansararichards) was 6 years old, Diamond, her first pet snake, entered her life. ? But it wasn?t until age 19 that she became more interested in keeping snakes as pets. ?I became obsessed with all the morphs and species people are breeding. I now have some very unique animals that are stunning but were entirely for companionship when I needed some creatures around.? ? ? Sarah now keeps five snakes at home in Calgary, Alberta, where she?s on the hunt for good light and simple backgrounds for her photos. ?
