I am currently going through a divorce and I moved back to the state that I grew up in. I was talking to my daughter the other night and she brought up pets. She knows that I am a pet-lover, but I am not in a situation where I can have dogs or cats. She mentioned that one of her friends has a snake.
She called it a Rock Python and said that it doesn't get very big. Well, I Googled Rock Python, and I had to inform her that I consider an 11-foot snake to be pretty big. After talking with her some more, we figured out that she meant Ball Python.
I had never considered owning a snake as a pet, but after researching the Ball Python, I think it might be a good pet for me. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get one, but that's ok, I have plenty of research to do.
