All three of them have no fear when it comes to garters, I just need to make sure they know not to try and catch anything that moves where something dangerous lives if we go anywhere. My middle son tried to catch a rubber boa 3 times but it was gone in a flash back underground. My little girl is the most fearless of them all so I expect her to be the one to catch a boa first. She will be happy until it wraps her arm and she screams all the way home for me to remove it. But then again I think my boys would do the same thing.
haha atleast you didnt wait for high school to allow them to have a pet....until high school i made ab honor and parents wanted all As then i could have a pet....finnally i convinced them to let me catch a blind snake (i caught a flathead instead) then he died and my uncle caught my garter for me.
