    See what I'm saying people? See now? This kid dosnt just want 1 ball python to take care of because he wants to get into the hobby or something. This kid is only 15 years old, dosn't even have a job, and is already planning on getting tons of snakes and "breeding" them and stuff.

    Kid.... When you get a job are you going to spend all your money on snakes? What about a car? Cellphone? Insurance? Gas money? Cell phone bill? Money to go out and have fun?

    Your planning all of this stuff out and your only 15. I'm willing to bet all the money in my name that by the time your 16 years old you will have other plans. It sounds like you have some unrealistic dreams. Kind of reminds me of some kid watching a gangster movie or something then having all of these plans to become some huge drug lord or something.

    Your 15, you dont even own a ball python, and your already talking about breeding and buying tons of morphs and stuff.

    If your going to get a ball python, then build your own small rack or get a tank, and start off small. If you still want to breed and stuff in a couple years, THEN buy the cb70 rack.

    by the way your going to need $200 more for a helix or something also. got an extra $200 laying around? If so more power to you, you must be a little rich boy. Awesome. Just what the Ball Python scene needs to help its efforts of not losing the right to own these animals.... Some 15 year old rich kid running around buying tons of morphs and breeding them when hes 16 in his little closet in his bedroom.

    Sorry, just the way I feel.

    Ah, perhaps you should wait until you have a more permanent living situation before you dive into the world of BPs. Moving is stressful for them too!

    Nice to know you are doing your research though. The main problem with new owners is that they never did, or did minimal research. Doing your homework before class is a good indication of maturity

    Re: Parents and reptiles!

    I am not a rich boy ive worked extreamly hard for the money I have. Why do you bring negativity to this? It's all possible if I put alot of time, effort, and RECIEVE SUPPORT! I have always had a spot for animals. I like how you over exadurate two morphs in to tons of morphs... I know for a fact I am more educated on ball pythons than you are. Do your self a favor and go to another forum and put somone else down...

    Re: Parents and reptiles!

    Please cut it with the negativity. This kid has only showed that he knows what he is talking about, he is just a little bit ambitious

    No reason to put someone down because of their age. I bet if he said he was 20 years old you wouldn't have said a thing.

    If a 20 year old came here and said he wants to breed ball pythons in a year before he even owned ONE, then I would have prolly been even more harsh.

    Anyways, good luck kid. Sounds like you have life planned out to a T

    Re: Parents and reptiles!

    Me personally if hes 15 now. A year he will be 16. Say he keeps his first snake a year before another thats 17. By that time if he wants to breed i dont see why not. Because if his parents will let him then cool. Because lets face it the economy sucks. How many people move out soon as they turn 18 and grad? A lot more stay at home and live there a few more years.

    Me personally if hes 17+ and has had a snake for a year or more i see no reason why he cant try his hand at breeding.

    I guess he could always spend that $200 he wanted to spend on a snake and go buy some crack and smoke it up.

    Id much rather see our youth buying snakes and learning about them then spending it on other things like drugs
