Chris,
Congrates on your success so far. I am glad to know that your Mom has seen the benefits of a teenager with a constructive hobby. The improvements in your grades, the knowledge that you get from reading on a subject that you are truly interested in will stick with you much more then the lessons learned by reading “To Kill a Mocking Bird” LOL. It is great to see a Herper get into the hobby with such a great attitude towards it. Breeding snakes, lizards or for that matter any animal (birds also) is a great hobby for any teen to get into. The hobby has the same benefits for a Teen, in keeping Mom Happy, as it does in a married Adult, keeping the wife happy. The Hobby keeps you busy, normally keeps you at home and out of trouble, you get to meet others with the same interest and you learn as you go.
Great to see you working so hard at it. I can only imagine your excitement when you saw the baby Sand Boas popping their heads out of the sand. Just so you know, that excitement never fades, it stays with you for each litter you produce.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
