for me it was very easy to get a snake!my first one was a thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis!i was 13 but one day she wasnt in the terrarium anymore i searched the snake everywhere but i wasnt found them!i saw the snake never again!then i get a new one with the age of 16 and now i wouldnt miss them.my parents liked the snakes all the time!my father have a aquarium(tank)with fishes since i can remember!and so he had no problem with reptiles.my first snake was from a friend of my father.and my mom say its a nice hobby because its educational.
