Venomous

[wilomn]

Just curious, but are your parents going to be involved with the care of whatever venomous species you are looking at??

I'm all for younger people learning to take care of more complicated animals, but I'd certainly would never have let my sister care for even less-than-lethal hots at that age.

Fine for your sister, but this guy isn't. I know a lot of folks who got started at that age, or younger, who never had any problems.

A better question would be, does your mother have any experience with hots. It's not going to matter much if she's involved with them if she's a newb too.

Is the kid learning by doing or is someone teaching him is a far better question and response.
