"Dad, can I hold one of the snakes?"

I love it when my girls show interest in the snakes.
Tonight, my youngest wanted to hold one. We got out the platty male to let her hold for a while.
It warms my heart

Love it when kids get into the hobby in an instructional and educated way. You must be proud.

Re: "Dad, can I hold one of the snakes?"

Is your dad receptive to the hobby at all? Maybe taking him out "herping" in the field or to a reptile expo and you can "show" him how much you know and how important it is to you...maybe he may start showing some interest? Idk... I just know I get really jazzed when I see my girls dive into a hobby/subject I want to get into it with them.

Another hobby we share

Re: "Dad, can I hold one of the snakes?"

My father doesn't care for any "hobby" in existence. But he will hold any reptile I've ever brought home, and get bitten repeatedly without flinching. When the 3 foot mangrove got out in the house, I told my dad and he said "ok, we find it" lol

Business is my dads hobby, so before I worked all I had to do was convince him it was an investment, although I never made any money....

If my son isn't the reptile type, I will just trade him for another I think
