Buying/Adopting Adults vs Hatchlings
Just curious as to the benefits of both. Obviously with a hatchling the snake has more time to get acquainted with you and its easier to ensure a more mellow animal that's not always ready to bite.
At the same time, though, I'm conflicted over buying hatchlings since there are plenty of grown snakes that could definitely use a good home. I know they don't sit in the pet shop or breeder's rack waiting for a "forever home" the way that cats or dogs do, but it seems like somewhat of a shame to have perfect examples of beautiful animals just sit in a shop because everybody wants a baby snake instead.
I don't necessarily mean rescuing snakes that are blatantly in need of new owners before they get sick and/or die, just buying adult snakes in general.
Just looking to have some discussion on the matter! Post away
