    Dear parents, this is a video for you.
    Here is my advise and all the information you could ever need, if you are a parent with a child that really wants a ball python as a pet. I have gathered all my best advice and I'm eager to show you the realities and what you can expect from a ball python as a pet.

      Jossers Jungle well to be honest I just haven't had a lot of exposure to pet snakes but you share the same excitement and love for snakes that my daughter seems to have. plus watching you handle them so comfortably during the video had me wanting to see her (my daughter) do the same.

      I hope you ended up getting her one! I live with a 5 year old and 2 year old who love and are very gentle with my sand boa, and if you'd like I can give you an update on them once my ball python gets here and has a chance to settle in to her new home :)

    fish are the opposite of easy for a child... you have to check water paremeters, water changes, maintenance and just over all a big commitment and a hobby that gets expensive quickly snake keeping (ball pythons) is a great hobby even on the wallet compared to fish

    • @JossersJungle
      @JossersJungle  7 років тому +30

      You are absolutely right. When I am talking pets for children, especially younger, I'm talking their part in the caretaking. I remember having fish when I was younger, in a small aquarium, and I remember not doing much with them. Yes they needed their water changed and cleaning, which I did with the help of my father, and feeding once a day. It also depends on the spieces of fish you choose, if you go saltwater, you'll definitely need to spend a lot time on your hobby contrary to lets say a guppy fish.
      Having a ball python as a pet, I think, gives the child more opportunity to be greatly involved without having to spend a huge amount of time on it. Thank you for your comment, it's easy to forget that there are actually more to taking care of animals that what you immediately would think :-)

    • @chua5959
      @chua5959 7 років тому +1

      BellaWxlla because I live in Malaysia it’s quite easy to take care of freshwater fish. Just put them in then they live. My fish have been alive for like 3 yrs

    • @lilahb.8698
      @lilahb.8698 6 років тому +3

      I am an active member of the fish keeping community and I agree. Bettas can't live in bowls, and the costs rack up quickly. Off the top of my head, you need so many things, including things people wouldn't commonly think of when just getting a betta for their child, like a heater, water conditioner, filter, test kit, etc. They're not easy, and the kid gets bored quickly of them I bet since it's something you can't touch and only look at. And then the parent has to take care of it for the most part too, since there is so much to worry about and consider even with a simple one-fish tank.
      I also like snakes but I don't see getting any in the future, lol. There's still a lot I'd like to do with my tank, and it's not like the parents are really into getting a snake. One day though, one day. I'd just adore a snake.

    • @srrealism1530
      @srrealism1530 6 років тому +4

      Having kept fish, reptiles, and mammals, I can say for a fact that fish take the most expertise and work.

    • @rjm5080
      @rjm5080 6 років тому

      Sandra Real Depends on the fish species I guess, I’ve had fishes since I was 8 and a lot of fishes I got the first time are still living and they need the bare minimum of maintenance. I feed them every day (I do forget to feed them sometimes) , change the water every month and clean the entire aquarium every 3-5 months (It’s a really big tank lol). Most of the times any of my fishes died was after I cleaned the aquarium, I feel like they get too stressed and are unable to adjust to the new water even though I keep the water conditions the same every time I clean it. The filtration or aeration system rarely has any issues and all my fishes are quite healthy. Snakes seem more sensitive to temperature and humidity and lighting conditions than fishes and also feeding fish food is much easier than feeding snakes rats and mice.

    Going to show this to my Dad. I will be paying for everything to get my ball python, but my Dad is still hesitant; my mom thinks he's afraid of snakes. I think it's funny that I have to convince him and not my mom. She used to have a boa!

      Bri Ryver My moms pretty much on board, but my dad is on the point of, "if you cant keep your room clean, how can you take care of a snake?"
      I throw my clothes on the floor. Thats all, but that means a filthy room apparently 😐

      Bri Ryver my parents are the same way! My mom loves snakes (she has one tattooed on her toe!) but my dad is afraid of them. Of course I am almost 20 so it’s less of asking to have a snake and more of knowing that I shouldn’t buy one myself because (even though I’ll be living downstairs away from everyone else’s rooms) my dad would not be comfortable having a snake in the house. (When I move out however, I really want a Cali king!)

      Well here's the way I see it and just for the record I'm a hardcore Christian you know how in the Bible it says mankind was created in God's image I think it's more than that I don't think it's quite that animals were created in His image however as they were created by Him I think it's safe to assume that they are inanely as holy as we're supposed to be so owning a snake is not remotely sacrilegious or the work of the devil the snake that Adam and Eve encountered was not an actual snake that was Satan taking the form of a snake but that wasn't an actual snake because there were snakes in the Garden of Eden just like there were every other animal what's more snakes were not denied passage on the ark there are certainly evil snakes just like there are evil people and in my opinion there are evil other animals there are also good ones just like there are good people

      Karissa Williams God created snakes, so he wanted them to be on Earth for us to love and admire. Over time, we have associated these animals with the devil because they are cold blooded and scare a lot of people, but God created them and chose to make them exist.

The vet said he’s fine he just loves to swim haha $70 vet bill to tell me that my snake is just a little special.... not to mention, after he goes swimming, he always seems to want to be taken out and snuggled with. He gets me all wet! And he knows he’s bad! Then he’ll wrap around my neck while I watch tv in my room and take a little nap. It’s our daily routine after school.

    • @kaylianderson5531
      @kaylianderson5531 4 роки тому

      I could be wrong but sometimes this is a indication that their humidity is too low. Without proper humidity they can’t shed comfortably, but maybe your snake likes to swim? I would check that out if you are still curious

    For the people who are DYING for a snake, I just got a baby ball python called Clementine. My mom is impossible to convince and terrified of snakes... I did a 30 slide presentation on ball pythons, I gave her a few facts a day, no begging, be persistent, tell her that they only eat once a week, and find a good breeder. Do the work for her so all she has to do is say yes. Good luck.

    This is one of the best if not best why to get a snake guide. My mom is convinced thanks to you! My snakes name is fred and he has blackish green coat. Really stood out compared to the others I saw at the expo. Earned a sub and will definitely tune in to other video on how to take care of my little guy. Thanks for the help!

    My grandfather bred (mostly) Burmese and ball pythons so I got my first ball python when I was 3 years old. I actually saw her hatch (so exciting!) and we grew up together. It was an amazing experience and it definitely taught me to be patient and, most importantly, respectful of animals.

My parents kept quiet a few king snakes when I was younger and 1 ball python, so convincing them to let get get a snake for my 16th birthday wasn't the hard part, it was convincing them I would take care of him and not lose interest. Well it's been 7 months and I still LOVE my ball python Desmond! 😊

    I rescued my first BP baby about a year and a half ago. I couldve chosen him (a regular.) or 2 other morphs. Out of the 2 morphs that were striking at me and very scared, he never once had any kind of defensive behavior. He stayed in a little coil, wrapped in shed. He helped me get over my fear of snakes... its indescribable, the feeling of love I had and still have for this snake. The nerve I had to have to gently hold him while I helped him shed, thinking hed hold a grudge against me or... What not. I soon came to understand their behavior and how they think. They are so forgiving and tolerant. As long as you arent hurting them, with consistency you could probably get a ball python to tolerate just about anything. And even aside from that, theyre just so interesting. I could watch him slither around his enclosure all day. The way hes so curious. Instinctually intelligent. Ive learned to love and or appreciate all the creepy/scary things in life because of him. Plus, Ball pythons are actually super cute! Noodle will always be the best pet ive ever had 💕

My mom hates snakes but she also had a lot against rabbits and I have one now and she has grown to love her, so I'm hoping the same will happen for the snake. Thank you for this video

    My name is Sally. And my parents said no. I have a leopard gecko and she is the sweetest thing. I got the leopard gecko because my parents wouldn’t let me get a snake. But the other night I asked my mom if I could show them a presentation made by me and for them to open up their minds. And if they still said no then I would accept it as long as they talked about it together. I’m going to download this video and shorten it just a little bit so it can fit into my presentation! I can not thank you enough for posting this :) I will update on if they said yes or no. WISH ME LUCK

He doesn't like the current amount of pets we have right now ( 1 cat, 1 dog, and 8 fish). I keep telling them, it doesn't take a lot of cleaning or tons and tons of money so I could pay for it...But my mom insists on not getting one! Ugh I just want a snake alreadyyyyy! The video might be helpful if they actually watch it 😰

    I liked your story about being terrified of spiders and overcoming it by getting a pet tarantula. I've been thinking of doing the same thing because I don't like that I'm afraid of them for no reason at all and they're not harming anyone. I don't think I'll do this quite yet because I'm moving soon but I may at some point after.

I reallyyyyyyyyyyyy want a ball python, and my mom is terrified of snakes/reptiles, and my dad isn't fond of the idea of snakes either. but hopefully when I send them this they will change their minds, and let me get one. (for their sanity and mine, because I'm not gonna shut up about snakes until I either get one or lose my voice.)

    I think this would work for parents that are just leery/unsure/ maybe even uncomfortable but for parents that are totally against it or are terrified... well thats a different story. If your parents are totally against it after you bring it up (like mine are) then I wouldn't even try and show them this video lol. Although I do thank you for all the simple and easy to understand info :D I love how you taught your kids to treat your reptiles with RESPECT and how to handle/care for them. I absolutely love your videos and snakes (And hope to someday have a small collection of my own of ball pythons and maybe boas)

    I'm getting my ball python tomorrow from PetSmart. I have loved snakes my whole life,no doubt. So a few weeks after by 10th birthday, i wanted nothing more than to experience the feeling of owning these animals for myself. I spent 2 months doing research, and when I finished I was ready to ask my mother " The Question." By first I got my Nana's support on it, THEN I calledy mother. She said no, but keep in mind she is scared or snakes. Although, me being her only child and using my awesome talents, I somehow did the impossible and managed to get her to say yes. After that, I waited until my 11th birthday. Then we started to talk about it more and more, until finally(yesterday), it was time to spring onto action and make some phone calls. Now today, after making another batch of calls, I am getting a juvenile BP. And I couldn't have done it without the help of UA-camrs like you. Thank you, for all the information even though some might think I am too young to take on such a responsabiliy ( Even of you didn't know you helped out a LOT.) And if you've made it to the end, congratulations!!! Stay safe 🐍🐍🐍

    My friend has a "baby" (she got him a year ago and he has only grown 1.2cm.. i know they are slow growing but that's too small) ball python (I was the one to get her into reptiles) but he is EXTREMELY underweight and skinny. She doesn't really feed him all that often because she's at friends houses (and then she calls me to go and feed her snake for her when she remembers to). Not only that but she NEVER changes out the bedding which builds up ammonia from the poop and it's disgusting (I clean it out every time i go over too), I'm concerned hes going to get mites. He doesn't have anywhere to get away from the heat (he's in a 20 gallon long with 2 bulbs and a heat mat) who goes to bed at 12am and wakes up at 4am and she never fucking runs the mister/reptile humidifier I bought for her and I just feel terrible for the poor thing. I brought it up to her multiple times but she is so convinced that shes doing everything right or she makes excuses like her mom won't buy her snake what he needs (which is bullshit she gets 400$ every month from her seperated father). I feel bad because I kind of knew she would do this before she got the snake and I just don't know what else to do. This whole situation sucks.

    I'm glad I got a ball python. Last year at a reptile show in San Jose at the Santa Clara county fair I bought my first BP. A normal, and young one she was, but after 9 months shes big now from 18 inches - 31 inches and 406 grams. I bought another Ball at the one in LA this year in January, 5 month old male pinstripe. Originally wanted a bearded dragon, but went with a Ball since breeders recommended me as a starter. I paid everything for them, looking forward to raising them, and breeding them someday when they're older.
