Re: Trying to convince parents to get a snake tips?

If your parents say no.. then maybe its just a no. Keep doing research and getting money put aside but from a parents point of view I get it. Enough is enough sometimes.

Re: Trying to convince parents to get a snake tips?

There's still the issue that you're in your parents' home. You might not think you have too many pets - but your parents obviously do.

i highly advise you to talk to your parents...Make sure you are allowed to do all of this before getting any snake. You wouldn't want them getting upset with you and having you get rid of the snake / any other pets, because who knows what upset parents would do. O.o

This is fine. But you might have to wait 4 years before getting a snake to fill it if your parents really don't want another animal in the house.

I think that is a very solid idea. As a parent I would be extremely impressed by your effort.Just be sure and try to convince them while you're at it.

Re: Trying to convince parents to get a snake tips?

just the way you worded it I think.

I know I wasn't sure of whether you were going to sneak a snake in or wait to convince them - but now i understand.

just make sure whatever snake you pick up doesn't bite you while you're showing them, haha
