Aaron,
You are very young (sounds like a cop-out but really it's not).
Being older and knowing a lifetime of family and other concerns taught me that life is more than getting what you want. it is keeping what matters.
I was recntly involved in a legal action that I won. it cost me $30,000 to win it (even though I was right). Only lawyers win lawsuits.
But even without that, to deliberately encourage any child to undertake an unnecessary and dangerous hobby is SOLEY the perogative of the parent (as I have tried to explain). It is extremely dangerous to hand a child a gun because even if they have knowledge people get killed. it happens often here. The difference between a gun and a ven snake is there is far less control.
It has been an interesting thread. You are intelligent and likely will make a great keeper.
But if anything else remember from this that there are bigger responsibilities in giving advice on a forum than just to the person your writting to. And though it may seem slight to you, us older keepers know far better what the consequences can be.
Frank
