And you are correct I too was immature...but it was when I decided as a student at Michigan that it was a great idea to purchase a red tail boa. Somebody that is focussed on their career (or studies) is not going to the pet store once a week to buy rats to feed to their snake.

You know, Mitch McGary is making over a million dollars a year.  He could hire somebody to come by now and then to feed his snake if he doesn't have time.

 

Also, as someone who has kept cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and arachnids, the time involved with caring for a reptile is much lower than that of a dog.

to a snake does not sound mature to me. This coming from someone that has kept cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds (keeping arachnids is just creepy...so I leave them in the garden), the time involved with caring for my dog does not require me feeding it live animals once a week. Also, when my dog grows full size it does not want to eat me or require me to contact the local zoo to find it a home...just saying.

As I understand it, you're not supposed to feed boas live prey anyhow.  You buy a pack of frozen mice, you thaw one out when you need it, and feed it that.  Doesn't sound much harder than giving the dog his kibble.

 

And I really don't get where you say that having a pet that requires some care is "not mature".  And then you say get a dog.  If he's travelling for 3/4ths of the year and doesn't have time to walk the dog every day, wouldn't that be just as bad?  If he hires a dog sitter to do that, would that be "not mature"?

Alright Cali Wolverine, your definition of maturity should be the only one that counts. You should write an official book on what should and shouldn't be considered mature due to your years and years of meticulous study of maturity. You are obviously the most qualified to determine such matters.

I'm just saying, if another grown man, which none of you know personally, getting a few snakes is interesting to you then I personally think it is very weird and that you must not have much else going on in your life interest wise.

When I first saw the headline of this thread, I assumed Mitch got a really high score on that snake game that came with every cell phone from the late 90s-early 00s
