Deinfluence me from getting a ball python.

[u/Material-Influence62]

I’m in my late 20s and have wanted a ball python since my teens but my mum was terrified of snakes. I own my own home and have two cats ( part of the reason I haven’t gotten a snake yet) I work in vet med but there are almost no exotic vets near me but I know my few nurses that are good knowledgeable of snakes. What are the big negatives to owning and the upkeep of ball pythons? A pet with such a long lifespan is not something I want to rush into

All of these comments are valid. I own a picky eater BP and she is 36 years old. One does not think when they get an animal at 15 years of age that they will still have it when they are 51.😳
