Teenagers do change alot. I know first hand. I got in over my head when I first started and I wasnt much older then you. If you want a retic your only about 2 hours from me get your dad to drive you down and I have some you can handle andn feed and see if you would still like to have one. Im not trying to discourage you or anything but I know exactly how it is to be a teenager and want a big snake.
