Despite my personal feelings towards reptiles
I find myself on this forum because my 8 yr old son is begging, pleading and trying to persuade me to let him get a California King Snake. He has always loved animals, especially reptiles, and he even managed to keep a backyard-caught tree frog alive for almost a year (what a learning lesson that was).
I guess my thing is that I recognize his passion and I would like to foster that even though snakes make me squeamish. I am considering making this either a Christmas gift or birthday gift in January. However, I know nothing and I really need to know what is involved, needed, required. My son has researched and shared tons and tons of information while trying to persuade me, but I would really like to have more information from experience. I appreciate any help--I don't even know where to start, what to look for, where to buy, what to buy, etc. Also, if your experience tells you that this is a terrible idea, please share that too. TIA!
