WOW!! from reading all of this It makes me glad that my parents even let me have one snake. My dad told me that I can have as many ball pythons as I want as long as they are properley cared for and I get everything I need with my own money.
I am 13 years old and everybody I know think its kind of cool but dont have any interest in it (except for my grandma, she would scream and faint at the site of a RUBBER snake).
