Completely random NWR question.
Has anyone ever/or does own snakes? What is your experience with them?
I want to get a little corn snake and have been doing alot of research and I thought I would ask you ladies for input too. They are really docile, great to handle, inexpensive and relatively easy upkeep. Not to mention they don't get very big and are quite beautiful. I already have the 20 gallon tank from my alligator lizards I had so tank and lighting is taken care of.

I do, however, want some chickens! My neighbor has them, and he gave me a dozen giant fresh ones today. Eggs are about $4-$6 here...it's outrageous. Gonna go home and pitch that idea to FI.
What will you have to feed a corn snake?
My MIL has chickens and brings us fresh eggs all the time
[QUOTE]My brother always had snakes around when we were growing up. Usually garter snakes - they're pretty easy to take care of.

Oh I didn't think of garter snakes. Those snakes are pretty mellow. I am more just concerned about temperament and behaviour.
[QUOTE]ExH and I had a 6 foot boa constrictor a long time ago. It lived in the bathtub. I used to wrap it around my neck and go to the mall, just to watch people freak out. It was fun, except for having to provide live mice for it to eat.

WAIT WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!
How did you KEEP it in the bathtub? OH MY GOD I WOULD DIE IF I WENT TO YOUR HOUSE AND WENT INTO THE BATHROOM AND FOUND A GIGANTIC SNAKE.

HAHA! We had a boa when I was growing up that LOVED the bathtub. It's great for shedding. He would just kick it in there. But he was a little odd... We would put him in the tree to bask and he would fall out O.o
I used to work for a vet that did snake training for dogs and my first week of work I walked into the back to put away my stuff and there was a rattlesnake laid out on an exam table. To say I freaked is an understatement. So, I guess I do mind snakes...

I think the garter snakes are the kind I used to catch in the wild. They don't bite or anything.
I think they are pretty neat for friends to have as pets but wouldn't own one myself. Something to think about is what would happen if you went on vacation and whether your house (renting/hoa/whatever) allows snakes as pets.

[QUOTE]I don't mind snakes but I could never have one if they had to be fed mice (frozen or alive).

This is true for me, too. I like snakes but I also like mice and rats. I don't think I could have a pet snake that wasn't a vegetarian.

<div>This was pretty much my exact reaction as well. Holy balls. </div>
If you're not set on a snake but are looking for an apartment- and vacation-friendly pet, these guys are furrier and only require food/water daily:
If you get a snake, more power to ya, but I just had to represent
