    Pretty easy being a parent and remember being 15. Their house, their rules. You wan to breed your pythons....feel free. You will probably need to have a job to pay for the hobby and your own place to do it. Give it a few years.....finish being a kid, get a bit grown up, and when you are on your own making your own rules do what you want. However, until then you are under their roof and their rules.

    you need to get your parents to agree.

    ask for permission to get another one when christmas or your birthday is coming up. also parents like to reward some things. so you can try to make a deal, for example: if you manage to improve your grades at school, you can get another BP. it depends on circumstances.

    If your parents have given a reason for their decision - your grades at school aren't stellar, or you don't care for the one you have appropriately, or they can't afford it, etc. - what have you done to fix the problem?

    There may also be valid reasons, such as not enough room in the house for a second tank or a breeding set up, there's no good reptile vet in the area in case of an emergency such as an egg-bound female or a prolapsed hemipene, you'll be going away to college in a few years and they'll be stuck wth the snakes, etc.

    Sounds like you already know the answer. Yes, your hobby and your passion. Still....their house their rules. Simple as that.

    All the more reason. If you are scared or concerned about their reaction then you know their answer. You have plenty of time....don't rush it. Your parents have allowed one snake in their home. They probably are doing a decent job of feeding, housing, and providing a loving home for you. The best way you can pay them back is to show them respect. If that means putting your dreams of breeding a new morph or simply breeding your own royals then you are just going to have to wait. I know...it sucks sometimes being a kid. It also sucks sometimes being a parent.

    By all means talk to them. Keep it open and receptive to answers you may not want to hear. Thats life.
