How old is your daughter? I got a ball python when I was 7 that I had until I was in my 20s. Even though I love snakes and started collecting again, I'd say I didn't have much of an emotional attachment to it because I got it when I was so young, so I wasn't giving the proper care that I could've been. Everyone is different though, so I'm certainly not naysaying or anything, just that you should encourage them bonding to facilitate a long lasting relationship.
