    The next generation

    I've had the snakes long before I had kids. I've never pushed the animals on the kids, I let them decide if and when they want to interact and to what extent. My the funniest thing is both my son and daughter have their own favorite morphs. My daughter likes the white stuff where as my son like the enchi and banana/coral glow morphs. Any time I work in the snake room the kids demand that I bring some animals in to let them hold and see.

    Out moving males around this morning and my son asked to see "my freckles", so apparently he has laid claim to a Coral Glow male as his.. LOL

    Great kids testimony!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I think it's awesome that your children are interested in the snakes, it always makes me happy to see and hear about children enthusiastic about interacting with animals, especially those scary man eating pythons! Lol

    Also, I have to say, that little boy of yours is just so stinking CUTE! He looks thrilled to be holding his freckles

    Very cool. It's amazing how easy they take to reptiles when they aren't taught to be afraid of them.
