Hi Kerrie, I can highly recommend de-barking. My old girl was done when she was 2, I exhausted every other option and couldn't bear the thought of her not being with us. She is happy, still screams and barks whenever she pleases and it doesn't bother anyone. The vet did a brilliant job and she is very quiet. If stinger was younger he would also be done, he drives us crazy and puts a lot of tension on the household. I think genetics also has a lot to do with it. I think the only reason he wasn't done was due to the fact we have so many snakes, I've always said I must be able to hear one of them. Thank god I finally have a calmer and quieter one!!!
