Thanks, she is very clear clean snake, and I am surprised I am not more freaked out by her. She has a heck of an apetite, and when I go to check on her, she actually comes out from under her rock and it's like she knows who I am.

Pretty Neat!!

Thanks for the welcome.

Three people told me she is a girl, and my son was a bit upset, I guess he wanted a boy, but to me, what is the difference? He loves her all the same.

Thanks and Hi back!

hi joy what a nice thing to do for your child, my kids wanted a pet for eons but we rent so dog/cat is not an option, so a snake is great, remember to clean the tank often and always have fresh water on hand other than that please no huggin or kissing... heeeeeheeee bye

I give my long term captive king snake a kiss every once-in-awhile. I know it is gross, but she is so adorable. Probably not the best thing to do.

It's really cool that he is so into the snake. It serves as a great way to get the kid to be interested in reading and science.

I remember when I was about 9 (24 now)I got a ball python. I read so much about him and was fascinated by biology ever since. Yet, it was all that reading that probably compelled me to write for a living years later. In any event, it's an excellent hobby and one that promotes knowledge gathering. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the new snake.
