Age For Snake Owners

[Melody]

I agree, maturity and responsibility. I kept my first snake and several lizards at 8 years old. I was definitely responsible enough, but I wasn't mature enough to do the right research. I just did what the guys at the pet store said, and the lizards lived for many years but there are many things I did wrong.

Same with me pretty much. My parents taught me how to start caring for animals from the time I was able to talk, and all other basic things. Of course I made mistakes, and there was a lot I didn't know but I cared for them to the best of my knowledge. All my pets lived for many years, and none ever died from anything that wasn't out of my control.
