Hey Mitch.
I notice that you joined way back in Nov. Been watching quietly? I'm glad you finally spoke up! A childreni is a great snake to start with. I have a couple and they are as sweet as. Keep an eye out for Wombat. He's recently got his first snake too, a childreni called Chillie.
Mum's can't resist baby ANYTHINGS! So the way to win your's around to a second snake is to show her little babies! My Mum was MAJORLY anti-snake until I got some new tiny little hatchlings. Now, every time she sees me she asks how they are, and she even rang me from work one night (she is a nurse and was on nightshift) just to check that they were ok!!! :shock:
Cheers, Lily
