im the landlord my tenant asked me for one. its just a small single family home with a mother in law suite attached.
definitely not, unless its a spitting cobra lol
If you feel safer wearing safety goggles then do it.but you shouldn't have the snake near your face if it will bite
Hardly. Tyros should start with non-venomous snakes, none of whom go for the eyes. If someone starts out with a spitting cobra, they don't deserve protection. The result would be one fewer idiot in this world.
I agree with one of the previous answers. Do not lie. I am a 16 year old boy who's been caught with it and it's so much easier telling the truth. Chances are if she's not crazy religious, she'll understand that you are growing up. My mom is and she freaked out, but honestly, it's not a big deal.
i own two ball pythons, both are very docile snakes. and i've had them around young childern without a problem, and i've had them in and around crowds without a problem. It truly depends on the snakes disposition, and if it is a poisonous snake. If you know the snake has a bad disposition then yes, take all the nesscary precautions, wear safety goggles and handle it with care. with poisonous snakes, only a trained professional should handle them. As far as young childern and snakes? it would depend on both the child's age, and the breed of snake. you have to ask yourself, is he/she old enough to properly handle a snake? to care for it? With ball pythons, my daughter had her first snake at ten, and takes care of him on a daily basis, with me there guiding her if she had a question or concern. As it should be with any child and their first pet, wether it be a snake, dog, cat or any animal. they need to know how to care and handle the animal before taking on the responsibilty for one. As to special situations, you need to know that the child, or even adult is alright with holding the snake in the first place. If they seem afraid to hold the snake, keep the snake about your neck or on your arm, and turn so the snakes head is away from them, and ask them if they'd like to gently touch the snake. i've done this many times and have had no problem with the method. in short, with all animals it's always best to use common sense anytime young childern are involved.
