Well Im New On This Forum
My Name Is Kieran , Im 12 Years Old , I Currently Own A Royal Python - I Have Had Her For 7 Months Now.
Im Into Big Snakes More Than Small Snakes ,
Id Love To Own Either
Burmese Python , Reticulated Python , And Dwarf Reticulated Python
Whats Your Opinions
I was thinking any of these .
1.1 Burmese Python
2.0 Reticulated Pythons
1.1 Dwarf Reticulated Python
whats your opinions .




P.s ; i know im young but why do people have to hate on young people owning large snakes, as long as its a hatchling when i purchase it , i should be fine ?

Sorry but in no way could you realistically deal with these snakes at your age. Bear in mind that at a year old some of these have already hit 6-8ft or so. It's madness to even consider it. These are all snakes which have claimed lives of their keepers in the US and not something to be purchased lightly.

Welcome to the forum, I'd suggest you may be ok with a super-dwarf retic though

I think it's bonkers for him to buy these snakes, but he wasn't listening to me, hence why I asked him to make this post.

i must agree wait till you are much older then decide .you must think of the strenght that these snake have .and the time they need,and the room they take up.the care they need.i can understand how exciting it all is and how much you want to say iv got a huge snake .but please think befor you buy .our local shop sold an anaconda to a young boy as he said he wanted a large snake lol .now this is i hands of one of our herp club .

true true... if his situation is the same as everybody elses with large snakes... why should people put off? he may be 12 but he could still be mature, tall and strong for his age. He should definitely think about it for a while longer but if his final decision is yes, then i dont see why anyone should have a problem

i must also add, the strength difference between a royal and a boa is huge in my opinion, so i think jumping from a royal to a retic would be a hell of a shock, they seriously are not for everyone to own !

how old is the royal that you own ?
