Age For Snake Owners

[Mephibosheth1]

I would love if my future son or daughter wanted a snake, but I wouldn't expect them to get all addicted like me. But sure, I would buy them their own ball python for start (if they get tired of it, I would happily take care of it) and then, if they show responsibility and enjoys taking care of it, they can pick other species aswell.

I think that's about what I would do too....help get them started with the interest, and then since I'm already into the snakes get them one to see just how into they are. If they take care of it, great. If not, it becomes mine and they have to fork up the money for their "second try"
