I'll go out on a limb and say that it is possible for you to own a reptile again. When I first read this, quite frankly, it sounded like a "troll". At the end of your post, you said a reptile and didn't specifically mention a burm.



I think if you are truly remorseful and it's 11 years later, you might try another reptile. But for heaven's sake, a large boid probably isn't a good starter snake for someone with such a history. Why not go with a more docile snake such a corn in a hot morph or a ball python? Learn all about them before you make your purchase so that you are prepared for certain situations. Most of my corns are sweet, but I have a cranky one who has bitten me. Snakes are rather instinctual and predictable, but that also makes them rather easy to handle, if you are prepared and calm. If you react with a short-temper and lash back at an animal, any work you have with animals is doomed.



By no means do I condone your actions as a teenager, but I do believe people can learn from their mistakes.
