I think my mom was more talking about handling the snake around my little brother... but who knows. -shrugs- Luckily the snake is going to stay in my room, behind closed doors, with only other reptiles so I won't have to worry about some little kitten or something. Since I'm not at her house on the weekends the only pets I can have are rodents and reptiles.
Since the commercial cages are so expensive (I really don't have that much money. Its hard to make money when you're 12 and the only options you have are working for family members... Heh...) I think that I'm just going to buy the wood and have one of my step-dad's friends, him, and I build a cage. Who knows though, I'll think about that when the time comes. Luckily though my step-dad has lots of friends that will help in within a second if he asks for it. They already offered to help build my CWD's cage but we got a good deal on a 55 gallon.
Yeah, I'm going to make sure we have at least one lock on the cage then maybe secure it with bungee cords or belts. Whatever fits the bill.
Yep, I definatly have to bring some questions to Jimi once I start nearing the time when I can get my snake. (I have a hamster that has to die first. LOL. I can only have 3 pets at a time... >_>)
Hah, yeah, I am SOOO lucky that my step-dad is into reptiles. He really was the one that fueled my love for reptiles (he pushed me into getting a CWD when I was really ready for a Chinchilla or something like that) and I will thank him forever for that.
I WISH my mom would do something like that. If she would only take a look around this website I'd like scream and jump up and down. She'd realize then that snake people aren't weird, that snakes aren't scary, and that this is something I really love. Oh well, its not going to happen. The best I can hope for is that when I send her links to certain caresheets, and some quotes from breeders that she'll read that... Thats the one thing that I can do that I think might change her mind. She's a sucker for a cute picture. LOL. I pretty much won her over with a baby rattie picture when I wanted one a while ago but my step-dad over-ruled one that one. Oh, well, I'm glad for that one! I wouldn't be able to feed my reptiles rats if I had one across the room looking at me.
Its hard enough with my hamster.
Wow, you take care to. I must say, that post really helped me think about different things... Thank you so very much. Having all you people help me is really making me believe that somehow, this whole Boa thing is going to work out.
