Whats with Moms saying no to snakes? Its funny i didnt get my first one until i moved out and because she kept telling me no i wanted to know more about them.... Her refusal, was my fuel.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

And my mom's reasoning is "I don't do snakes." She's not scared of them, she simply doesn't want any in her house. Which, again, it's her house, and I understand and respect her reasons and decisions, even if I don't agree with it.

I did have one ball growing up, a normal male by the name of Houdini (take three guesses how he got that name, and the first two don't count). I swear, you could have a BRICK sitting on top of the lid to his tank, and he'd STILL escape. No, we don't know how.

My uncle kept him for me, thankfully. Sweet snake, very gentle and never even hissed once. Sadly, one time he escaped and we never found him again. *Cried for days*.

But yeah, once I move I'm thinking about either buying or building a rack so that I can get my husbandry right and do any tweaks I need to do before going and acting like a kid in a candy store as I start getting snakes.

The boa would probably be more a pet and would get a pimped out tank. *Tends to spoil her pets like whoa, and knows a boa would appreciate it more than balls*
