My nine year old daughter and I were not traveling lightly when we arrived at Nellie. Two ball pythons, pet rat, dog and bags of food - the result of having to evacuate our home while it was fumigated. When I'd asked Ellen if I could bring the entourage, she said I should do what I need to do. She was there to help me unload the snakes (she was also there to help me reload) and make sure we were all comfortable. So Nellie became our home away from home. Our haven. In short, I loved everything about it. The one word that sums it up. MAGIC.
