My son who is 7 y/o has shown an interest in getting a pet and we've both come to the conclusion that a snake would be just fine for him. It's more of a mutual thing because I will be breeding at some point while he just has a pet.
Everyone has valid points here on the breeding aspect but I am still stuck on the child
This is why I always ask about location.
It is nice to have some face to face time too with someone other than a pet store employee
