Snakes

I am thinking about buying a snake for my friend for xmas. Hes really lonely and it is the only thing I can afford to get him. Would you recommend a python or a boa. I think python cause boas could be harmful to my friend. I have no idea. What do you think and what do you suggest.

Um. I think Pythons are like 1200$. Boas are about 300 more so you are looking at 1500$. So I think they are alittle out of your range. I suggest maybe a cat. HUmans society normally helps lonely people with cheap donation fees. Most anyone can qualify. The three things are a must in qualifying.

1) Proof of income
2) Proof of Housing
3) records of animal neglect.

If you have the 3rd one that will disqualify you almost immediately for anytype of adoption. one isnt a must as most elderly dont have much income except what and if they get in social security. 2 is just a procaution of the safety of the pet. Will he run around outside or will he have a home. Some Citys do random well being checks on adopted pets like they do childern. I suggest you talk it over with your friend and take him down to the animal shelter and check up on a cat. Sometimes they will neutor or spay your adopted friend free of charge if you adopt them there.

Hi there! I'm just wondering what did you buy for your friend as a gift last Christmas. Since you mentioned you were planning to buy him a snake, it became a question to me whether you considered this gift because this is your friend's personal choice for a pet or it suddenly popped into your head that this could be a really great present. *wonders* Oh well, just share us whatever you came up with.
