The "proper" snake purchase under negotiations is that, much like other people's children, I like other people's snakes - I'll play with them and then give them back. I'm just not "snake keeper" material. (But I'll defend with everything I've got other people's rights to have them!) So my 1.0 Human and I are trying to compromise on a snake I won't might having around... small and not to much of a head flare, but he's not into milk/rat/corn snakes. LOL, it's quite a discussion!
