that should be fine as long as there are no fertilizers in the soil you use.
 
Dont let her get this or any other animal untill she and her boyfriend show true signs of maturity, responsability and commitement. Otherwise we could endup with a badly wonded kid, tons of bad press and a posible new ban, all to avoid.
 
Don't plan on letting her. I will end up taking her snake if she don't upgrade her soon. Worse thing is she can't get enough room for her snake she plans on getting a male one and breeding them. Also get a Savannah so she will either end up starving them or herself and her kid. So I won't let it happen.
 
I thought of another question. Would they be able to eat Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Dad don't like feeder roaches but I might be able to convince him to let me get some of the hissing cockroaches and breed them.

What doesn't he like about the roaches?
 
Hissing cockroaches are exspensive and would be exspenisve to set up a colony with. You can feed them but I wouldn't buy them in bulk.
 
Because if they get lose it will be a problem. He just thinks about the down side of things. I found a site it's $287.90 and you get
A container, vertical living space unit, water bottle/dish, 1 non stick food dish and a non stick veggie dish, 1 each nymph nursery, small tube of petroleum jelly, 1 each bag of topline bedding, sponge for humidity control, 5 replaceable egg flats, 1 pound of roach diet, and 2 dozen hissing cockroaches.
My dad is more worried about the pest problem. I am also going to raise crickets and worms. Which he don't have an issue with but the mention of the roaches he was not happy about.
