At 15 he's like the wind, ever changing. Corn snake? this too shall pass.

He's been at me for 6 months. He's persistent. We'll see what happens.

He is persistent until he gets it. Then he will be onto other things like getting his drivers license and you will have a corn snake. Not worth the investment, IMO. I have a houseful of teenagers and I have learned to be deaf when it comes to requests. These too shall pass...

My 15 year old son would have every foamposite Nike shoe he can get his hands on if he had his way. Everyday it's "This is the only chance I will get".... blah,blah,blah

^ agreed ! My first snake was a corn and I still have him.. he is a lovely creature. Crawls into my shirt sleeve to keep warm. Very pleasant. why not?

I can't just crap all over his taste in snakes, if that is going to be his hobby. I had a copperhead when I was 16. I should be grateful. IDK.

He will just have to learn to like an Infernalis if thats what it takes:-)

Nobody is telling you to do that. We are simply telling you to coast in this situation. He has parents that must be involved in his decision to get a snake, right?

We are only making suggestions. You know the situation much better then we do. In the end you will do what you decide is right.

I appreciate and value all of your opinions ALOT that's why I asked and have been so candid.You guys have teenagers, I'm 30 and am single with no kids. My brother and his wife put it on me for obvious reasons. I texted him and he agreed a Thamnophis radix should be his first. This is the confusing part. He wants an all black morph!?

[Saji]

You all were right with that extreme of a shift we might need to take this reeeaaalll slloooow:-)
