my son thinks he is everyone lol, he has told anyone who will listen that he is getting a snake, the petshop owner has been fantastic, he is setting us up with everything we will need, giving us lessons and we can go and handle slinky whenever we want during shop hours,
there was a rather gorgeous corn snake there that i liked........lol

| Hi, I am also new to snakes and getting one for my daughter in a few weeks. We have also picked one out and I'm going to see it again today. It's great when the shops are so helpful. I can also go at anytime to see the snake and handle it and have been given great advice. I just can't wait to bring him home! My birthday is also in March and already I am thinking of getting another lol |
