Actually it's the same deal we have with Beth with her Milksnake and will be the same deal we offer any minor we sell a snake to (and yes it will be in writing with parental signature). If life changes temporarily or permanently and you can no longer house the snake it has a home with us or we will help you properly rehome it. Young folks can make great snake keepers but none of us know the future and when you are a teenager if that future includes a college dorm or a partner that hates snakes, well it's nice to have a back up plan in place.
