HELP! need to make a choice

[Evenstar]

I would figure out where any future animals will be living before bringing anymore into your home.

I totally agree! Get that one figured out asap........

go with the boa. you sound already attached to her. cinnys are easy to come by and even cheeper if you go through a breeder.

i am still living at home since i am 17 and my mom said she will get me ivy but i can have her at our house and i can "have" her, like actually get to see her or care for her every day till i move out yet she wont let me move out till i graduate...and i have a place for her for now with my boyfriend and his roommates

Probably a bad idea to leave your snake with someone else, even if he is your boyfriend, what if you guys break up? What will happen to the snake then? Does your boyfriend know how to care for a snake? Is he willing to constantly monitor temperatures and humidity to keep the snake healthy even when you are not around? What if one of your boyfriends buddies leaves the cage ajar and the snake escapes? It sounds like a iffy situation for the snake to live in, if you really care about Ivy than you should probably not leave her in that environment...

But I do have to disagree with some of the people saying snakes dont have emotions. I dont know about all of your snakes but mine talk to me all the time, they tell me to do terrible things... terrible things... They wont get out of my head! They constantly complain about the temperatures! It's either to warm or too cold! They harrass me incessantly about the humidity, it's too dry they say! And they drill into my brain with those hypnotically piercing eyes of theirs, I lose huge chunks of time and do not remember what happened, then I look down and realize that I just thawed out a half dozen frozen rats... My God! There can be only three possibilities, my snakes are somehow using their ESP to control and alter my thoughts, the CIA has secretly been experimenting on me using cutting edge mind control drugs, or im just totally out of my gourd...

I wouldn't get a snake that had to live elsewhere more than a day or two. If you got the BP could you keep it at your house?

ROFLMAO....

But in all seriousness, Ham makes a really good point. No offense to you or your boyfriend, but these are really valid points you need to consider.

From your signature, it appears as though you already have 2 ball pythons already. Where are they living???

I would not get any unless you can care for them in your home! Everything should be setup and ready to go before getting the snake. Cinnys are very common and can be found anytime. Boas are a little harder to come by! Best of luck with your choice!
