All snakes CAN bite, but then so can cats, dogs, horses, hamsters etc etc etc etc etc and i would much rather be bitten by a snake than a cat!

That is actually exactly what I said LankyRob. My mom loves cats and brds and I said try getting bitten by one of those then a ball pytho. I told her that I garentee that a snake will not hurt as much.

Yeah I have a cat that I call "Demon kitty". She attacks me allll the time and I've never even gotten a feeding response bite from my snake

No matter how many times I tell her she doesnt care.She either just ignores me or says "cool". She doesnt budge. I have ven told her the stuff I know and she has seen the essay but it seems like she doesnt care. I try to keep it possitive but its really hard to when nothing work. I dont know what else to try. I think im making a bit of progress but it seems like nearly none.

Hmmm, that's no good. I dunno what to tell you man.

how old are you? If you're old enough and don't plan on using any of their money to buy/care for the snake, just get it. That's what my brother is planning on doing in a few months.

GarterPython · 10-02-11, 06:07 PM

Im 14 and I told them that I would pay for it all and they dont care. Even if I bought it without them knowing they would get rid of it when I bought it. Thanks for the help. Idk what else will help either so il just keep trying with what I got no matter how long it will be.

**millertime89** · 10-02-11, 06:17 PM

Try to get your mom on here to talk to us

We'll show her!

I like ur attitude Yougter. jk but good idea ill try. You know the keep it at a friends house is a good idea exept none of my friends want a snake. They like them they just dont want one.

This is not a good idea... I also don't think keeping it at a friends house is. This will not show your parents that you are mature and responsible. Say you get said snake and keep it at a friends house and their parent decides it has to go... then where does this snake go?

I think your best bet besides doing as your parents say and showing them you are doing research is to get your parents to look at our forum and talk to us. As for nothing more than a fair chance to show them "our world" ...

maybe find a member in your area and see if having them talk to your mom. She may be so set there's no way around it. You might just have to accept it and wait until you're out on your own. If there's no way you can keep one, maybe just find a keeper in your area and see if they would be willing to have you come over and help with taking care of their collection, its not the same, but it would allow you to work with snakes and not have any of the cost.

what are your mom's concerns and what does your dad have to say?
