Must be crazy!

We must be insane, but we finally let our 12 year old son get a snake. He’s been doing research and saving up for a year. This is Stella, a 6 month old female pastel ball python. He wants to be herpetologist, so I guess this is a good starting point. My husband and I have zero experience with reptiles, so it’ll be a family learning experience!

You must be crazy!

Although we got our daughters rats when they were teenagers. My older daughter ended up becoming a veterinarian, so who knows!

Well at least he is a pretty fella! But I still don't like snakes.

Pretty colors, esp for a Steelers fan like I am. So just how big does she grow? Now that you've had WLS, she might just look at you, momma, as a tasty "slim" snack someday!

She can get up to 5 feet but won’t get very thick. We made sure her enclosure has good clasps, otherwise she might have one of our cats as a snack LOL

I think this is why I'm glad I had girls. Snakes.

Girls like snakes too, but not this one!

Fortunately for me, mine didn't either! I'm getting the heebie jeebies just thinking about it!

No no no! I am freaked out by snakes for lots of reasons. We ended up with 2 guinea pigs this fall because my spouse wanted a rat...

Pretty snake (pet) ? Lol

I love your snake & would love to hold it! I used to catch garter snakes all the time as a child. Until a few years ago, loved me a bearded dragon. Cried like a baby when he died. Reptiles, cool and dry, beautifully textured, no malice...

He is pretty. But I do not like snakes at all.
