Hi, my name is Vickie and I joined this site last week as I needed some advice about my son's snake. We brought Striker for my son for his 10th birthday, but I'm co-owner! Generally I wouldn't buy any animal as a present for a child, they are not usually responsible enough to care for them! However, Bobby had wanted a snake for about 2 years before we gave in, and I've wanted one for about 22 years! As I said we've had Striker for three years and he is a Miami corn and absolutely beautiful! As soon as I get some recent photo's I'll post a pic. Apart from Striker we also have a dog, goldfish and a hamster. Apart from my Bobby I also have an 11 year old daughter. I'm currently in my final year of training to be a paediatric nurse, so what with studies, kids, pets and a husband, my life is fairly manic, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Anyway, that's me in a nutshell, just wanted to say hello ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
