Well I can see that you think that I am some dumb kid looking for a "cool" pet.
Check my registration date. I've spent two weeks before then and to date, I have spent just about every day researching Ball Pythons. Being a first time owner, I'd like to know as much as possible about my new pet.

In regards to adopting a snake. I thought it would be better to give a snake that has been abandonned a second chance and a better home. Do they not deserve a chance at a better home? It was not the price that attracted me towards adoption, it was the light of a better and loving owner.

Instead of blowing smoke up everyone's arse, do some research on pastel prices and get your facts straight.
