My starting place is garters, I've kept them from since I was like 5-6 years old. Some people start with corns or balls I did with garters. While yea corns are docile, who says an indigo or a bull is unable to be docile?

I know pinkies aren't the best, they where for the garters, I was just saying that to let you know that having and storing rodents isn't a big deal for me, if anything I can buy a small freezer for 100$ and set it up in the garage.

I was originally getting a job, but at this point I have too much to juggle and I can't manage to spend all the time at the job, I always have a good amount of money around for IF I need to treat. My garters have never seen a vet and never will, nor would a bullsnake unless I got a high quality color morph from online. An indigo would of course get a vet its not native.

Corns are slender, docile don't need much. I don't think that bulls require much care either and aren't all that big when you think about it. I think most of them stay around 6ft, but they can get 10ft I've seen pictures of a 10 ft bull. They also tame easily from what I've read/heard... Indigos are just cool, I know they are big but thats not an issue. I have space for the enclosure (and space for an outdoor if I got a bull), I know how to build them, everything...

I got a big lecture on their limits and being content last night haha. -_-;; Probably wont win this one.
