We're thinking of buying a pet snake. - EDIT: photo Rebekah Send a noteboard - 16/06/2011 06:42:02 PM
Most likely an adorable little corn snake.

Anyone have/had a pet snake? Advice? Suggestions?

Any reasons why we shouldn't get one?

Any reasons why we should?

I like snakes.

Well. I like our friend's pet snake. She is lovely.


Edit: If you look at my profile picture, that's the kind of snake we're thinking of getting. She's a couple of months old at that point.

Live feeding is illegal in the UK, unless the snake in question refuses all other food. Morgawse - 16/06/2011 11:14:46 PM 684 Views
What? Why? *NM* Avendesora - 17/06/2011 05:55:13 PM 245 Views
I don't know, but... Morgawse - 17/06/2011 06:01:45 PM 709 Views
I can't speak for the illegality, but... Cockatiel of Doom - 21/06/2011 02:23:36 AM 882 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 254 Views
Or people. Or mice. It's hard to tell. *NM* Cockatiel of Doom - 21/06/2011 10:37:34 PM 399 Views
As for the biting issue... Cockatiel of Doom - 21/06/2011 02:30:00 AM 824 Views

If you plan getting a cat in future think twice about the snake. random thoughts - 17/06/2011 03:37:05 AM 592 Views
This kind of snake is too small to bother a cat. Rebekah - 17/06/2011 09:43:07 PM 496 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 755 Views
Why do you assume we'd get a big snake? Rebekah - 16/06/2011 11:15:45 PM 792 Views
I don't assume it, I merely included the possibility. Joel - 17/06/2011 01:01:12 AM 746 Views
