Like every one else has said, I recomend a RTB. Also if you have some one willing to help you take advantage of it. Have them teach you what they can. While the net is great remember that its not always correct. Besides I believe that hands on training with some one who know what they are doing is ALOT better then reading how to do something. Heres a little story for ya to think about tho. A friend of mine has a 17 ft retic thats about 6 years old. When he got her she wasnt as friendly as she could be since the previouse owner didnt spend the time with her that he should. Now because of this, IF he has to go into her cage by himself he takes his .45 cal handgun for safty. You need to relize the work it takes to tame out these snakes so you dont find yourself in a situation like this. Take advantage of the help around you and learn all you can BEFORE you get a monster snake. There are enough snakes that are turned over to rescues, abandoned or set free becouse people dont relise the work they take and the true size they can get. Also since you live with your mom before you get a large snake, explain how big the snake will get so she doesnt force you to rehome it simply because she didnt know how big it might get. Take her to see one in person. Telling some one about a 15ft snake and seeing one in person are two compleatly diff things. The last thing any one on this board wants is to make another person resent the reptile community because of misinformation and things like that
