well since this thread has risen and the scary grandmother looking thing is wandering around the graveyard, i may as well chime in. This is me blindly jabbering about me feeling on the whole age and reptile topic. Im going to start with no a 14 year old any teen like myself for that matter should have a copperhead. I think something like a vine snake or mild venom would be cool and acceptable. now lets move on to what irks me. As some or you know i am a teenager, and my biggest life lesson / thing to live by has been dont let people say that you cant do something....having 50 snakes and breeding IMPOSSIBLE many say, but i never thought that; when i look at a fellow keeper i feel that we are at the same level as far as herps go. BUT NO. Let me share a story of when i vended last year at o local expo 2 instances. One guy came over and said that he would never buy a 3000 dollar snake from a kid because we are stupid and impulsive. Another man ridiculed my mother or letting me own the animals and work for word said im a spoiled **** because my mom had to of purchased them for me because kids now days don't know hard work WTH. This may not be the same exact topic as owning hots but its saying what ive been told and what i hate "hey youre a kid, you are not reponsible and your animals will suffer because your an immature CHILD" okay rant thingy ma blab over
