Did you have a pet snake as a kid?

No, my Mom would not allow it.

I now have over 30 ball pythons and more on the waaay!!I have eggs that will hatch first week of sept.

Well I'm 16 now and I have two snakes. I've had two snakes before this. Fortunately my dad really likes reptiles too, and mom is compliant as long as she doesn't have to touch.

I had to fight hard to keep my two bettas, so as you can imagine snakes were out of the question. I was always told that once I moved out, I could keep anything I wanted.

Wow, I'm surprised to see this poll is that close to 50/50! Anyway, as for me, I did have snakes when I was younger. Mostly, they were the ones I found in the yard...ringneck's, garter, etc. I did have an Iguana, as well. To everyone who's parent's did not let them have snakes...at least you'll share the experience with your kids!!

No. My mom HATED snakes. If I would have tried to keep one, I don't know who she would've killed first; me or the snake!

Nope, I always wanted one though, probably for at least 10 years. I moved out a little over a year ago, first I got my dog, then I realized "....wait, I can get my snake now!!" and I did it!

Well considering I got my bp this year and I'm fifteen, I'm going to have to say yes.

You wouldn't believe how real a threat that is. My friend's mom just slammed the front door on her Cali king. With her body outside the house. From a weighted cage. While mom was home alone.
