Milk snake? There are some really nice morphs of those, too. They are mostly pretty handleable as well, though I've heard of the occasional bitey one. I snake-sat a milk snake for a friend for two years while he was on a mission trip--it was really fun to watch moving around or burrowing--sometimes we'd see just the tip of his nose or an inch of head poking up out of the substrate, other times he'd be climbing on branches or slithering around . . .

a milk snake sounds cool, but i already have a snake that lives under her substrate lol. im seriously thinking of getting a ball python, or maybe another sand boa.

I like the carpet pythons and also the jungle morphs out there. but that is just me........

I think the piebald is a really cool combo of white & patterned--but I'm afraid we're talking even more $$$! I know what you mean -- I'm falling in love with some gorgeous but very expensive snakes!

Have you showed your lady pics of anything? You might get her more interested in snakes if she gets to help choose something.

yea, my brother has a ball python and she was timid at 1st, but once i got her out of the cage and she seen how she just sort of chilled, she wasnt that afraid. I deff want a male though... gotta watching getting a bigger "vicious" snake at my apt complex... (yes, I KNOW pythons especially balls are not dangerous or vicious, but accouding to my apt comples anything with the words "boa" or python" is dangerous, thus including my sand boa lol)

Good grief! No differentiation at all among species? *sigh*

Do they do the same thing with dogs? Are ALL dogs vicious?

Limited understanding . . . glad I own my own home!

DeesBalls · 03-04-09, 10:45 AM

lol no im really surprised they dont do it with all dogs either... i took my snake to the main office to show them and there like, its still a dangerous snake... im just like whatever.

cant wait till i can buy a house!!!

Now if you were keeping a snake that gets big enough to eat people or that is venomous, I could understand their concern. But ALL snakes? Pretty silly. *sigh*

Owning your own house is great in many ways--but it always comes with other costs, such as repairs that you have to pay for yourself. Still . . . I wouldn't want to live in a rental of any sort nowadays!

Ya Me and my gf are looking to get an apartment and i just don't plan on telling anyone at the complex of the snakes i will be keeping.

DeesBalls · 03-05-09, 01:22 PM

haha we are moving to a diff apt complex, and im not telling anyone i have a snake... no point in telling them.

Kmef07 · 03-06-09, 06:25 PM

ya it's not like we need to take snakes for a walk. they just stay inside and never bother anyone.

Haha that reminds me of a funny story:
When I went to pick up my snake from his previous owner the security guard guy said that I couldn't park where I did. I said "I'm only gonna be 10 minutes. I just need to go up there *points to building* and pick up my snake. I promise I'll only be 10 minutes" He then said "oh no! the snake is the devil! The snake is evil!" then he continued to give me a long lecture about religion and snakes. I then said "Oh, please let me park here! I'm going to go take the snake out of your building, I'm doing you a favour!" then he said ok and I went and got my snake!! Yay! His previous owner said it was funny when she would take him to the corner store. She would take him in the elevator and find it amusing when somebody would get in the elevator and not realize he was there until the doors were closed.
