Any snake lovers here?

Well herps in general?

I have a 1 year old Red Tailed Boa. Its awesome. I'm considering getting a Rainbow Boa. A good friend of mine has one and it is very pretty (and a little more docile than the one I have, although he's friendly).

I'm also interested in Geckos and Bearded Dragons, but I don't have enough room or time for too many pets. When my kids get a little older I'll probably expand my collection.

So, what kind of herps do you guys like?

Hiya, Ice! Welcome to CF.

I love snakes! Always have. I don't have one, but would like to. I volunteered as a docent at our local zoo, and my goal was to be able to work in the "Discovery" room where we could handle the non-venomous snakes and show them to the public. However, life intervened, and I wasn't able to continue volunteering the length of time it took to qualify. Perhaps when I retire...

I'm not as into the lizards, but they are beautiful. Had hermit crabs for years, though. Don't mind in the least having them crawling on my clothes. I know. Not herps. But they are a little out of the ordinary.

So what does your family think of your critters?

Family loves them. Especially my 2 year old son. I can't handle Toby (that is the snake's name) without my son wanting to hold him as much as he can. My wife loves him too, but Toby is much more active than a previous snake we owned (which died after 2 months, it was ill from the shop.....which explains why it wasn't active) a few years ago. It took her some getting used to have fast Toby was. Now things are pretty cool.

Of course ask me that again in about 2-3 years when Toby has gotten much larger.

Growing up I was a fan of Jake the Snake Roberts, so of course I like snakes. Although I must admit I am a little intimidated by the large ones (think Damian-a 15 ft Burmese python).

Not a fan of Jake Roberts now-read this .

I've never been allowed to have any snakes, but I would love to eventually. I used to volunteer at an aquariam and I used to hold and take care of the pair of red-tailed boas they had.

I kind of like snakes but, I wouldn't want to own one. I couldn't give anything live food. I heard the big ones eat mice but, they are cool looking... Do you have to give your snake live food?

You dont have to. You can train them to eat dead food but it takes alot of time because Snakes like a challenge and plus they can smell food that's alive oppose to dead food. But you buy some dead food and put some kind of smell to it or do something to make the Snake think it is alive....I forgot what it is but there is something like that you can do.
