What do little girls pick out for pets?

Beth (our 12 year old) came up to me one day, out of the blue (and we haven't raised her with snakes mind you) and says in this calm voice...."I'm going to have my own Platty Daddy one day". I sorta blinked and said..."umm hon, where did you hear of that snake?". She gives me that typical "good lord muuuuther" look and says...."well at Ralph Davis' site of course!"

I didn't know she even knew who Ralph was, let alone was eyeing his Platty Daddy LOL.

Course she's already scheming and planning rat breedings to practise her genetics and when she got her female albino milksnake she was already thinking ahead to the het for albino male she wants (she's figured out a clutch with both albino and 100% het for albino normals is a good thing! LOL)

So watch out folks....Beth's on her way up! LOL


~~Jo~~

P.S. Reference that pic of my husband....be very afraid Jim...that's his happy face!!!! LMAO. Something about the cross of his Italian and Irish heritage...what can I say.

At least she has excellent taste!

It's good to remind your kids that they are also supposed to support mom and dad'd hobbies too! LOL.

Nice pic..I might have kids someday....

Do it while you can still enjoy the grandkids...I can't wait to be an old fart with tons of grandkids running around. Life goal.

Rosys make great snakes for kids.....their small size and gentle nature are perfect...I have a breeding pair right now and I am hoping that Jewel (female) will have a litter this year. My nephews who are five and six love to hold em'..they're great!
