This is why i need more ball pythons...

My parents pretty much know that every expo i go to i either come home with more friends or more food for friends...:D

"I just wanna hold my baby. "----Exactly! It feels like forever! Not supposed to hold a new snake...I held him for 10 minutes on day 7. Two days later and it was feeding day...Of which "Hunter" mastered his first meal with me...He finally took a frozen/thawed & warmed up fuzzy, constricted for 2-3 minutes and continues to try and swallow the mouse from the middle of its spine (from the back.) After the mouses stomach WARNING GRAPHIC "leaked it's entrails" he was able to use the floor of the tub for leverage and the mouse folded up like a sandwich and was finally swallowed. The whole time (approx. 1/2 hour) I just wanted to help him, but kept my hands to myself. 2 days after that he started to shed...again I can't hold him. Needless to say...I'm taking him out tonight come H_ _ _ or high water!! LOL. I'm such a new snake owner...it's nice to know I'm not the only one that's excited to spend time with their snake. Thanks for sharing.

only if said older women are millionaires.... I kid i kid. Im only 19, and youre married?!?! Your husband better not see this lol!

DrDooLittle- its all good. Youre a mommy so its your instinct to mommy others haha

I didn't read the second page, but... If you want a snake that is actually entertaining to handle get a boa. They are actually very active and "hold on" so they won't fall. I love my bp's, but they are completely different when it comes to handling my boa.

I just blather, and beg, and suck up until I get the reluctant okay. I never reconfirm. I got the okay I needed! If I can't get the okay...well...I "get my mom to get it for me". lol. That actually was my mother's idea. When I wanted my second boa, I told her my fiance wasn't okay with it. She said, "Well...if I buy it for you, she can't say squat!" I love my mother. :D

Last expo I went to though, I was strictly forbidden (post-boa) to get another animal. I pestered via text message and cute picture messages until I got my way. Once I got home with the crestie...she was like..."Oh...it's not so bad. It's tiny." WIN.

I would really like to bring a snake home from the next expo, but Crestie needs a new cage. Besides...I've already pushed my bargaining chip for a puppy for graduation with the fiance. So I'm thinking another snake is a "no go" right now. lol.

I waited until my mom was with me on vacation and was 'relaxing' then i persuaded her into it. Mind you I've been bugging her for a month non stop and since I'm living at home with her, a snake fearing step dad and two snake phobic step brothers so we are keeping my second and third snakes a secret until they are 'found out'. So, secretly, my mother is on my side but she has to play both sides of the court. And I'm eighteen! I have a boyfriend but I totally know what it's like to be at home and trying to talk a family into more 'friends' so I have a few tips if you need some.

my line is you want that new bag\shoes then im getting more snakes. well i dont think its worked to well cause now im single hahahahh :cool:

I'm about to have the "I am going to breed my snakes" conversation with my mom (I'm a single mom and live with her). I know it doesn't start out this way, but I'm going to throw the $$$ card into it. I mean, I contribute to our household and I'm approaching 30. Even if she says no I really don't think that will stop me. I just got my spider this week and she's on vacation. I didn't MEAN to keep it from her, but I didn't want her to go on her vacation all mad because I got another snake. I'll tell her when she gets home.
