It's a good thing to be educated about all species on our planet. As long as they take good care of them. I know a 15 year old that's helping me with my ball because he has some ball pythons and knows alot about them. He is very responsible and takes real good car of them. And I'm 40 something and learning. Some are really responsible and it also teaches them how to respect and not to be scared of herps. My 2 girls 5 & 7 do help with mine and I think it's a good thing.

Regards,
