I think she is happy to let him do what ever he wants as long as its not in the house and costs her nothing. Quite frankly he hasn't done to bad for a kid... and I'd say fine if he was keeping some mice... they'ld have food, water, safety- no expensive heat source needed... but quite frankly for what he is doing he needs some under tank heaters some basking lights etc. Maybe the thing to do is hire him to mow my lawn next summer so he can work off a couple new lights and such, and calcium powder...

Good idea. Maybe that can also help with getting an aquarium or something that is bigger than what he has. Hopefully your idea works and the snakes are helped.

Yes. the More I think about it, the more I like the idea. He could shovel this winter also and have quite a bit of what he should have by spring. I think I should ask for a promise not to endlessly catch and keep for the summer also. to only keep the ones he plans on keeping permanently.

Just seems like a plan where everyone wins.

What about a really cheap digital camera that he can use to take pictures of the snakes he finds and then release them? Maybe get him inspired to become a photographer lol or a naturalist. haha. I say digital cause then he doesn't pay for film. or the horrendously ignorant mother will not have to buy film.
