wanting some handleing experience

[pombikiball]

im wanting to get a burm or tic or other similar animal but i don't know if they are right for me and want to get some handling experience be for i go and get a juvenile and then it get huge and i decide its not for me and have to re-home and animal of that type i believe in responsible ownership and education before jumping in head first in something like this i want to know if there is any one in the crawfordsville indiana or lafayette indiana area that would be willing to let me view their collection and help with cleaning and maintenance and such and get some experience
i currently own an adult female boa who is 8-9 feet and lately has picked up an attitude off and on but i think its from breeding season and her boy friend being in there

It might be worth your while to post the same thing on craigslist so at least you know you're targeting people who are local.. or even calling up a local reptile pet shop if there is such a thing near you might get you somewhere! Good luck

i didnt think of c-list ill have to try that and im gonna ask at the pet shop i go to if they know any one that they can put me in contact with they actually had 2 or 3 baby norm tics and a bino burm and a granite burm in there the last time i was there so i might have some luck there they also had some 100% het pied male balls for 50 buck too but all i had was enough to get my feeders

What about putting your request on the MonsterSnakeForum.com? They are all giant snake owners - or most of them.
