As for the TV conversion, yes there are lots of woods harmful to snakes, not the woods persay but alot of wood is treated, particularily ones used in producs like furniture (ie tv) you cuold get around this by coving the inside with onther kind of wood, or another commonly used enclosure material, but a tv uni probably doesnt have good ventilation (important for reptiles)...in my oppinion ur better off just buying a used enclosure for under 100 bux, might not look like a tv but it will be less hassle

and im gonna agree with some of the other guys - get a carpet python hatchling. i reckon coastal carpets make a great first snake(notice i said "first"). it'll start out small, but will grow to a beautiful, gentle giant. they're also very hardy and will easily handle newbies mistakes.
just persevere with your parents. i can guarantee after a few months with your snake, they'll turn into snake lovers too.
before you go ahead and get it, search this site and ask lots of questions.
good luck. | | |
