how about a snake?

they make fantastic pets and some species are very easy to care for.
I find reptiles easier to take care of than mammals
They only need feeding once or twice a week (depending on their age/size) and so only poop that often too – there isnt much to clean up after.

i’d recommend corn snakes. They can become very docile and dont mind human contact at all. They are relatively good feeders and dont grow to big at all (4 – 6ft).
They dont need tropical humidities either and are really beautiful little animals.

Easy to care for, interesting, ‘friendly’, beautiful and not so fangy!
i have three corn snakes, and they really are brilliant

Question by theatrechic: My friend and i are starting a pet care service this summer, and we need suggestions!?
yes, i know its january, but we need a head start. we calculated that we need 306$ to get off to a really good start, but we’re only 12 & 13, and its really hard to raise enough money at that age. we have most of it planned out, but we would need transportation from house to house….we could also use any other helpful tips too! thanks for your help!

Question by Britanica: How would I go about opening my own pet day care center?
i love animals and always wanted to work with them for a living. i think a perfect way to do so is to run my own business. when it comes to animals i dont need to be told how to love or care for them. so what does it take to start up your own business? i know i’ll need a loan to boost myself but what else do you need? and how would i go about doing it?
i mean for people when they go out of town. if your not going to give good advice don’t answer. g’z

Have a large fenced in yard, a heated barn so when the weather is bad, and a big place to store the piles of poop you will accumulate hourly. You could dry it out on a woodstove and then heat the barn with it. Good luck!
