Life story

Alex was the oldest of three boys born to Kylie and Luis. His two younger brothers are Luis, Jr (Junior) and Isaac. Alex had a dog named Luna who he enjoyed petting and snuggling with but especially enjoyed tormenting her! Lol but his pride and joys were the reptiles that filled the basement! Alex had two bearded dragons - Spike and Nubby. He also had 8 snakes… yes 8! He fed them, kept their cages clean and played with them! Alex loved the outdoors. He caught 6 out of the 8 snakes, plus much more just to catch and hold then let them go! If he didn’t have a tank or cage- he found something and made it livable for whatever creature he caught at the river with friends or at the lake with his Papa! He loved fishing but only if he caught something asap haha otherwise he liked to fish for bluegill by hand with a hook and string! Alex’s other love was food! Alex loved to eat! Takis, Hot Cheetos, pickles, fried chicken, steak, sushi, crab legs and his mamas buffalo chicken taquitos!
