kisses

Figured i my-as-well introduce myself
Im more of an arachnogirl... snakes seem to be the new tarantula

Heelllo, my name is meagan, im a 16 year old, my current habitat is Canada


Heres raoule! (my pride and joy)---- My 4 foot male ball, i love him to pieces.




I rescued him off a couple who had no idea what they were doing. He was on fertilizer/potting soil, had no water, was dehydrated, aggressive, and hungry.
He also had no source of heat, and a respiratory infection... He was living in a 2foot by 1 foot cage. He is now in an extremely large cage, that i may be able to live in , Is extremely healthy, a ferocious eater, and seemingly happy. After a few months of handling, he realized i wasnt so bad and now we chill and watch tv. So proud of the little guy, He came to my highschool, and did a speech with me on false publicity on snakes. And now we are going to districts. (he was a wee scared, stayed in the hood of my sweater the whole time) but he stayed calm, and let people "aww" over him. Because i love the doll so much, got a 3 foot female boa constrictor on the way.



Isnt he precious?

Welcome to the forum, Meagan! Great of have another younger owner on board! Sounds like you've done wonders for your snake and given him a fantastic life with you.

It's also wonderful to see you out there trying to educate the public about proper snake husbandry and information. Maybe some of the young adults will think twice or research more before they get a snake that isn't perhaps the bes choice for them (and a lot of adults too of course). Best of luck at districts!

What kind of boa are you getting?

Hi Meagan. What a lovely pic of you both. When snakes give you little kisses like that to me it shows they trust you (I shall get pilloried again but I personally think it's their way of showing affection). We have a rescue BP too and he is now starting to give me the occasional kiss but is still quite shy.


Fantastic that you're educating people too. Big thumbs up on that one

[megwinder]

thank you both ... Yeah, Im kind of tired of the disrespect these animals get, so i decided to reinform my english honours class . My buds have told their folks they held my snake and some of my fav responses were
"whats wrong with her parents"
" you better have washed your hands, you'll get a disease"
A few of my friends werent allowed to come over when i first got him. Just shows the ignorance of some people. Im glad my parents are so supportive and can respect all my misunderstood animals. ( they dont like them that much either). The most rewarding thing of all of it though, is when i tell my parents all this info, and its like they aren't listening. But then when another adult questions their sanity, they replay the information i have given them, defend my beasts and reinform people with correct information. My two little cousins are no longer afraid of spiders, and scorpions and snakes. Pretty happy, they are going to grow up with an equal respect to all living things.

That's great Meagan! There is so much nameless fear and misinformation about snakes and other "exotics" out there.

We have 4 kids from ages 18 down to 4 and they are all as snake crazy as Mike and I, well other than the littlest who just wants a puppy LOL. We get a lot of folks that ask sort of wierd questions about having snakes and kids and just don't get that your average ankle biter size dog is more risk to my youngest than our snakes are. Oh well, education is always a good thing LOL.
