Eeeeeee~ I'm so giddy! I'm finally able to get a pet snake, I've been wanting one for years but haven't been able to, but now I can!
I'd previously done research on some of the species I'm interested in, but now I still feel like I need to read more.
Due to the agreement with my parents I've got limitations, and basically I need to find something akin to a Sinaloan Milksnake in size and coloration.
That's all fine and dandy, Sinaloans are beautiful, but I can't seem to find any reputable sellers! u__u I dun want any fancy colorations or anything, just a nice,clean, healthy Sin. A site that looks pretty good is VMS Herp, but they won't get any new ones in stock until July. Now I'm finding myself eyeing an older Nelson's Milksnake at a store that's just a short drive from my house, but admittedly I'm rather picky. .___. The stripes are pretty thick on the Nelson, and in general they tend to be smaller in size. (And you gotta admit, Sinaloan just sounds so much purtier than "Nelson"!)Yeah I know, I'm bad. If I had the option though, I'd get a ball python or two. They're just so adorable and stubby and ROUND. xD And I hear they're generally very mellow, too. Totally would suit me.
EDIT: H'okay so the situation's changed a bit, I can get a ballie after all! Woo~ I think I'm gonna be getting one of them fellas instead of the Sinny. o3o
Gawd I know I need to take things slowly, research seller's websites and equipment qualities and not make any rush purchases that I could regret, but man, it's hard! Any snake owners out there? I'd love to hear any funny/interesting stories or tips on these guys. :3
RAWR RAWR WANT SNAAAAAAKEEE snaaaake snake snakeeeeokayI'mdone. ;_;
In other news, still trundling along with my last summer course. Compared to my Advanced Med/Surg rotation, this public health stuff is a lot simpler. But it also seems like something I could go into... not totally sure yet though.
Gonna get a snaaaakeee...!!

My second, an albino Cal King was a power eater... but was very skittish. Poop everywhere when you picked her up. >.<
My two ball pythons I have now are great. My female is a great eater. My male...not so much.
My male ball will actually go off feeding for 4 monthseach year. When he's in the mood to eat again he demands a live mouse at least once before he eats his frozen thaw again... this time he's on his 4th live and still not taking frozen. ;_;
That's just my experiences over the years.... good luck deciding. =3
Sometimes you can find a good pet store to go through. Petsmart has started selling snakes (i work at one). And just like the breeders, really look at them good. They should be keeping records on a feeding chart that you'll get with the snake. Look for cleanness in the cage and bright eyed snakes, filled out, and no stuck sheds.
PetCo sells too but I don't hear many good things about PetCo anymore.
A lot of local stores will carry snakes as well, but same thing. >>' most don't have a clue what they're talking about.
They're's Kingsnake.com that you can check out for listings of breeders.

If I don't say anything, it's because I have nothing interesting to say.
