considering a new pet
 

I've been thinking about getting a corn snake, I've always liked reptiles and snakes even more. and I have a friend here in cali who owns 3 corn snakes and a rattlesnake so I have a hook up to get fair priced snakes. does anyone else here own any snakes?

I owned a turtle for a long time...

I dont think reptiles make very fufilling pets...they just eat and dont give a rip about you

get a hold of dingo some time he has two and is looking for some more. He should be able to help you with making decision s on which to get

cool thanks :cool:

well the cool thing about snakes is they typically handle well and plus i already have a cat so she keeps me company

get a saltwater aquarium, i think i'm going to soon.

who the hell keeps a rattlesnake as a pet?

a guy who loves snakes
I would totally have a rattle snake as a pet, that'd be awesome

What are you going to feed it? A daily supply of cats? ;)

mice

and about once a week:smoking:

nice so you would have the cat and the snake fighting for the mouse. take some pics :od

dude get a snake that will eventually be big enough to eat your cat.. you can have the fucking food chain working in your house

I never understood having a snake as a pet.
Just doesn't make sense. What would you do with it? Leave it in its cage and stare at it? They look cool, but that's about it. Hopefully you won't end up like most snake owners that think owning a snake is cool and end up dumping some day.

Guess I'm more of a dog person(cats are too smart). I'd rather have an animal that responds to me. The only response you will get from a rattlesnake is a trip to the ER.

Though I do have a freshwater aquarium. Nothing in there will bite me though.;)

ehh i had a snake once... dumb pet imo. feeding was the only entertaining time, but even that got old. and the thing got too big and too strong where if it wanted to hold onto something, there wasnt shit i could do about it.

Too easy....*walks out of room*

I want a Chinchilla. I have no experience with snakes.

a little searching and found this you can get one for free from Azcivic

i had two turltes...things did nothing but sit there and look at you lol....I would get a lizard of some type...or even a Pariot...

A chameleon would be cool... I have a dog and a freshwater aquarium and love laying in bed and staring at it when bored... just make sure you get one big enough for big fish that like to swim (as do mine).

lol! yup if you can catch 'em you can have 'em.

Aquariums are awesome. The can be so therapeutic once they are up and running well. They can be a PITA to get running properly though. Plus knowing why type of fish works in what water with what other kinds of fish is fun too.

I have to smaller Freshwater tanks in my house. A 10 and a 20 Gallon. I would love to do larger, but I don't really have the room for one.

Mine is only 20 gallons but its big enough for decent sized fish. Have 3 liquor bottles in there, assorted little fish, a huge angelfish, two larger shiny fish (fuck if I know what type), and I had an albino shark that was probably 5" and would hang out in the necks of the liquor bottles. It died when I left town for 2 weeks (apparently it cant survive on the food tablet things) so I got 3 baby albinos now and they've already learned about the bottles. :D

Oh yeah, and my aquarium is in my bedroom so I get to sleep to the waterfall sound... very nice. :)
