I think the 10-19 catagory is just a little too broad. It's lumping people in elementary school with those that are going to college... the range in maturity, etc., I think is a little too much to be grouped together. For the record, I am an 18 y/o female.
Oh, and I hope no 9 year/- kids are given complete care of the snake....it can be "their" snake, but I hope any parents would do the actual "taking care of" part.

Well, in answer to one of your original questions, I first got into snakes when I was 6. I saw a Boa on a school trip to an animal park and thought it was the most fascinating, beautiful, alien thing I had ever seen. My Mum still recalls the embarrassment of meeting me from the coach; most kids ran off yelling "Mummy, Mummy, I saw an elephant/deer/rabbit...." (insert nice, cuddly, acceptable animal). I rushed off the bus shrieking about a snake and nobody spoke to her for a week !
When I was 18, during university holidays, I started working at an aquarium which also housed a large reptile collection. That was when the rot set in - I started mixing with experts. I also realised that people were keeping them in their homes as pets and that this was considered perfectly normal. At the age of about 25, one of the aquarium staff moved out of the area and I inherited his pet Corns.
The rest is history and I now have a lounge full of snakes, most of them Corns. Long may it continue....

I am 32. I bought my first corn 10 years ago. I think she was an oketee. She was $10 because the person who sold here to the reptile shop I got her from left her in the same cage with a light bulb and she had 2 burns on her side. after about 2 years I couldnt see any evidence of her burns. She produced 2 clutches before she died now I have a bunch of corns
now I have a bunch of corns
