I do not have a Ball Python as of yet, but I am hoping to get one soon. My problem(which i'm sure many of you have had, lol) Is convincing my mom that Ball Pythons are not dangerous. I don't know what to do. She used to have an iguana around me when I was 2 years old, which I am sure was far more dangerous than a ball python could ever be. I have wanted to own a snake for years, but she would not let me. I am now turning 18 very soon, and I know I can handle it, but she still won't allow me to have one. I have pleaded my case to her, and she has let my little sisters get hermit crabs, and my brother bring in a bunny. Yet I can not have a little ball python. Any ideas or suggestions for me? All ideas/suggestions are really appreciated Thank you so very much!
