My daughter, Rhiannon, is 7 years old today!
We had her party last saturday, and she got toys galore as usual. (She's an only grandchild) But she's been waiting all week for her present from me..even though she's known all week what it is I'm giving her.

She's wanted one of her own since I bought my first one. And she's also always wanted an amel. So I gave her my Christine, and she re-named her Rashelle. But she didn't know she'd come home from school today to find Rashelle all set up in her new home and in Rhiannon's room! She's ganna love it

Wow you gave her a box of checks. Good luck with that. LOL

though that post was kind of confusing, you have the snake to your daughter or grand-daughter. Too much studying I can't even read anymore.

Either way, congrats to her but shame on you, you know you've just created another monster. She'll grow up to own like a ga-gillion snakes and you'll be the purpertrator (j/k)!! (maybe that's good?) I'm responsible for my own obsession and I LOVE IT!

the best of times the worst of times...

I don't mind passing on the corn obsession She's the reason I bought my first one. She came home from the farm with my dad and had cought a 5 foot garter snake by herself! (she was 5 at the time) At that time I was afraid of snakes, but figured if my 5 year old could catch a wild one, I could handle a cb one

Got my snow girl and she started it all!

Well wish her Happy Birthday from us snake fanatics. It's good that she likes snakes so much.

I know when I brought my first one home my 14 yr old step daughter wouldn't have anything to do with it because it was CREEPY, and SLIMY and NO LEGS and EVIL looking..

Now 5 snakes later, she holds them all, has her favorite (an amel) and lets those creepy, slimy, evil looking things crawl over her hands, hair, give her little "snake kisses", feeds them and wants me to get her some now. Go figure.

I think corns are great ambassadors for snakes, because they are smaller and calm, and seem to have such "personalities"...lol At least I think they do..

My 5 year old (at the time she was 4) was the first to start begging for a snake. We did all the research (here and Kathy Love"s book) and she ended up picking out a nice Snow - Snow Queen aka "Queenie."
Of course my 7 year old wouldn't let that last. So now she has a beautiful Creamsicle - "King."
It wasn't long before the 3 year old realized she was left out - so now she has an Oketee "ET". Of course I needed my own too- Blood Red "Geoffrey". Now my wife wants a bigger house with a herp room - The 4 corns and the two Tegu's take up too much of the family room!!!

Can't wait till we start breeding in year or so......

Thanks I got her from Don at SMR about a month ago. She's a nice calm snake, and Rhiannon has always wanted an amel. This way I can always breed her if I want when she's older too
(the snake, not my daughter)
