when i say pet i mean a hot kept by a hobbyist not a zoo. what do you call yours? Ive always called my snakes my babies, but I dont like to tell people that cuz its a wee bit obsessive. but of course you'll probably not like that name either so let me explain now. I call them my babies because they are beautiful and expensive and delicate, and i love every one of them. not because i want to pick them up and cradle them and sing to them. (lol just imagine a bush viper in a bib) Ive noticed that so many newbies who post with a question get the usual "get a dog" or "get a cornsnake" treatment I understand that you are trying to protect your hobby from uninformed legistative decisions, and more importantly you are all trying to save the lives of newbies. But please respect that most of us are trying to learn, thats why we are here. thats why we ask questions, we want to protect these things too. (these things meaning our lives and the hobby itself)
