Nasty snakes?

[lady_bug87]

and what happens when its too much of a handful? when everytime you reach in to clean you get tagged or have to deal with a stressed out animal? or when if they need help shedding you have to take them in your hands and assist while its trying to gnaw your finger off... what then?

my question is what happens when it isnt fun anymore

Not a thing Todd You know the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Lol.

@op
Check it out. I get a funny feeling when a fifteen year old talks about a psychotic snakes " a few years ago". Its ok not to want to talk about it and honestly I don't want to know but
.... a few years ago would make you like twelve and at twelve you probably shouldn't have had a psycho snake. Just seems like a bad idea to me. Heck I got a ribbon snake when I was twelve and tried housing it with my box turtle ( lasted about 30 seconds cause it went out a hole in the hood). Now I learned real quick. Had to cause I lost that snake that night. Got out of his temporary enclosure I set up ( a size 13 shoe box).

I am sure you have matured alot since the king snake but who pays to feed the snakes now? Who pays for the supplies for your pets? How long have you had your current snakes? Are you still interested in your current snakes? Are you honestly giving them the best care? I ask these questions because that is what every one of us should ask ourselves when we are looking at new pets. I know what happens when you don't really think it through. I currently have an atb that I got impulsively that I really like but is becoming a headache because my wife hates it and I won't just let anyone have it. I will be losing money on it but I would rather make sure it has a good home. Something I honestly wasn't as concerned about at your age.

Good luck and I hope you keep giving this lots of thought.

I'm still interested in my current snakes, I take care of them very well, and I love them to death. Seriously, I would probably give up all of my stuff just for my snakes if I had to. However, my parents are absolutely insistent on paying for the snakes' food, no matter what I say. I honestly want to be the one paying for my own animals, but if my parents won't let me, I'm not sure if I should go against that.
