Nakia Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 We really just went to look at snakes. Really. But we ended up spending two hours there, and we bought one. He is very very cute!! He is a year old California King snake. After speaking with the breeder for a long time, I felt like that was the best breed for us. Meet Murphy: ETA: I have no idea why the pics of the girls are horizontal. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclecticschooler Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 cool! How large will it get? Can you feed it frozen food or live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin Learnin Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Your girls are very cute and seem very pleased with their new pet. The snake? Blech :blink: Will he get very large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 He will probably be around 5 feet when grown, and he will only be eating frozen food. And yes, the girls LOVE him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalmia Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Congratulations!!! I think the king snake will make a wonderful and beautiful pet. Love the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin Learnin Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I do have to say that I love the fact that you have a house full of girls and now a pet snake. My mother was/is very squirmish and passed on many phobias to my sister and I. I remember the time we were house sitting the neighbor's cat and he brought us a...um...gift (one like you plan to feed your pet). My mother ran, locked herself in her bedroom, and refused to open the door until my brother came home and got rid of the little bugger and the cat. My sister and I stood banging on her door begging for what seemed like hours but she would not let us in. She laughs about it now. I don't. Good for you. Now your girls will be brave women and mamas. Girl power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I helped a friend get a snake when I was about 17/18. It rode home on my stomach because it needed heat. Now, remembering that makes me want to :svengo: Your girls are adorable with their new pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Awwwww!! Hello Murphy!! Nakia he's soooo cuuuuuute!! :D hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Not a snake person here, but he's so small and not moving on my screen. :D That is safe, therefore likeable. So... Murphy is a government snake? Makes laws and such? :tongue_smilie: Talented, little, slithery thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 We love snakes. Just remember they are escape artists. Ask me how I know. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Murphy is a great name for a snake! I also think it's wonderful that you got your girls a snake! Although I never brought them in the house, I used to play with garter snakes in our yard all the time as a kid... and frogs, grasshoppers, worms, etc. I'm glad my parents were open to the creatures I thought were fun because I'm not easily freaked out by certain animals that cause others to become squeamish. Unless, it is a spider... then I freak out! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
