Hey all,
What a great site, I've learned so much in just a short time. My son turns six in march and is begging for a snake. Since I can remember he has collected anything snake. I can't tell you how many nights I read about snakes from one of his dozen snake books. We live outside of detroit on 10 acres and spend much of our summer searching for garters. I must admit I'm a bit afraid of snakes but I really want to encourage his passion and help expand his knowledge and hopefully curb my fears a bit. After looking at snakes "recommended" for beginners my son is set on a ball. BHB reptiles is only an hour away so I plan to purchase a snake from them. We've watched all the snakebytes episodes.
Just looking for any tips from those who started with a ball. I've looked around the site a bunch but get overwhelmed a bit.
thanks to all who are posting their great ill be sure to keep you guys posted
