Great advice from everyone! Thank you. Even the folks on the Rainbow board cautioned me about them being a little aggressive, especially with a young child. As for bites, I've been bit by my dogs and my cats (when I had them, none here now). Would it be a good idea to wear some heavy gloves (like welders gloves) when I first get it until it gets used to me? I'm thinking right now a Ball is the direction we'll go. Do they like a tall enclosure with a little limb to climb or a short one (about 15" tall or so) with a ground hide? I appreciate everyone taking time to answer my dumb questions. I really want to do this right and get solid information before making a commitment. Otherwise it's not fair to the snake or to us. As I noted on the Rainbow board too, We probably won;t be getting it until August at the earliest. I want to take time to learn what I need to know and do the research, not just run down to the petshop and get a snake and a cage and not know what I'm doing. I'm sure I'll have more questions upcoming. Thanks for being patient with me.
