Yeah, parents can be difficult sometimes. Luckily there is no record I can find of a ball python injuring a human being more than a simple bite. No deaths that I can find either.Originally Posted by TheBallPython
Thanks guys! I'll definitely be starting with a 10 gal then. Unfortunately I'm hitting some more road blocks with my mom, she just doesn't seem to realize that this snake won't kill me... Keeping my fingers crossed though, at worse I'll have to wait another 2-3 years, but here's hoping! I contacted 8ball pythons and they did say they'd be setting up at the show near me. It's awesome that I'd be getting one of his snakes, they're gorgeous!
And thanks aff19802, once it gets closer I may take you up on your offer. You're pretty close, I'm sure we could easily meet up.
*oh, as a side note, i'm a she, lol. everyone on this forum thinks i'm a guy.
My parents still send me EVERY news article they find about snakes killing people though. And every time I explain, they are BALL PYTHONS!!! But they don't get it. They just refuse to educate themselves. I guess some people will just never be snake people.
All I can suggest is trying to educate your mom as much as you can. Make her read a book or research "snake attacks" or something. Snakes in my opinion are less dangerous than dogs or cats. If I get bit by a cat I am going to the hospital, with a snake? I am going to get a bandaid. Lol
