Snakes are awesome. Morgawse Send a noteboard - 16/06/2011 07:39:19 PM
Never had one myself, so can't help with practical advice, so I can only suggest you do your research first. And please don't go to pets at home for one, if their care/knowledge/origin of animal standards for reptiles are anything like for small furry creatures it's not great to say the least.

We'll need pictures if you get one though :D I love snakes. Couldn't have one myself, at least not one that ate rodents. I love my rats and I'd feel too bad feeding frozen mice/rats to another pet while spoiling my pet rats rotten. I accept snakes have to eat, just couldn't bring myself to.

Mornings are still not for me.

Live feeding is illegal in the UK, unless the snake in question refuses all other food. Morgawse - 16/06/2011 11:14:46 PM 795 Views
What? Why? *NM* Avendesora - 17/06/2011 05:55:13 PM 288 Views
I don't know, but... Morgawse - 17/06/2011 06:01:45 PM 821 Views
I can't speak for the illegality, but... Cockatiel of Doom - 21/06/2011 02:23:36 AM 1050 Views
Good enough reasons, but making it illegal?! The nanny state is so bad they're coddling snakes? *NM* Avendesora - 21/06/2011 11:50:13 AM 299 Views
Or people. Or mice. It's hard to tell. *NM* Cockatiel of Doom - 21/06/2011 10:37:34 PM 497 Views

If you plan getting a cat in future think twice about the snake. random thoughts - 17/06/2011 03:37:05 AM 693 Views
This kind of snake is too small to bother a cat. Rebekah - 17/06/2011 09:43:07 PM 603 Views

I can't prove it, but believe the reptilian brain too primitive to comprehend concepts like "love". Joel - 16/06/2011 10:11:20 PM 868 Views
Why do you assume we'd get a big snake? Rebekah - 16/06/2011 11:15:45 PM 907 Views
I don't assume it, I merely included the possibility. Joel - 17/06/2011 01:01:12 AM 853 Views
