Lady Bug that is good advice but not intierly true because I will not stop wanting a snake since I have litterly wanted one since I was 6. Also you say that you have to kinda just forget about it and what happens happens. That is not true because like the old saying, "If you want something badly you have to work at it." If you don't work at it and tell them stuff that is interesting to try and get them to at least deal with it then you will not get anywhere in getting the snake.

Don't forget the second part to this saying,
"Nothing worth having is ever easy."

If getting a snake is not feasible than but that goal on hold and work on something that will indirectly get you closer to what you want

GarterPython · 12-28-11, 06:33 PM

If I do something that will make me closer than that will show my parents that I am not that interested in them and that I will change my mind and focus on something else. It will show that I really don't want one that bad.

I can go back and forth with you all night, but I wont.

The fact is like it or not you're young, you live at home, and your hands are tied. You could bring your folks the moon and if they STILL don't want to give you what you want then like it or lump it that's what it is until you move out and can do what you want you need to learn how to pick your battles, which is a big part of being an adult

and that's my 2 cents. I went on saying I didnt agree with you which I dont, I gave you alternatives which you dont like, I can understand and commend your determination but sometimes stuff just sucks and there is NOTHING you can do about it

I am not going to go back with you eiter but in life you are right you have to pick your battles and this battle is one i'm going to take. It is a big part of my life and I am determined. I do not pick very many battles but this is one that I am going to pick and go throught with untill I move out.

I want your guys opinien. My sister will be getting a Bearded Dragon and she is also getting a tank that is easiy big enough for two bearded dragons. My question is that do you think that if I get a Bearded Dragon to go with my sisters they will think that i'm giving up to quick or do you think that it will help build me up to getting a snake.

Do not keep 2 bearded dragons in the same tank!!! they are solitary reps

GarterPython · 01-02-12, 09:26 PM

K well I still would like a Bearded Dragon and I know almost everything so if I got my own what do you think?

Don't house two lizards together, sometimes it can work but usually it depresses the quality of life for them.

GarterPython · 01-02-12, 09:28 PM

K I won't that was the one thing I didn't really know but do you think it will help or show that I don't really care if I got my own in its own tank.

GarterPython · 01-02-12, 10:41 PM

Anybody got any input on my thoughts.

Lankyrob · 01-03-12, 04:09 AM

Its hard to say as we dont know your parents. Some would say " heis showing his love of reptiles maybe he does want a snake" others would say "see i knew if we waited he would change his mind on the snake idea".

I don't understand your question...what is it exactly you are asking?

GarterPython · 01-03-12, 01:42 PM

I am asking that if I get a Bearded Dragon do you think that it will help me get a snake and show my passion towards reptiles or that they will think that I change my mind to easily and don't really care.
