I'm pretty bummed.

To the OP, I feel your pain.

Couldn't have snakes in highschool...Then I moved out on my own when I went to college. Couldn't have snakes in the dorms. Only a 10 gallon tank with fish....Not for me. Then I met my ex girlfriend. We dated for 2 years....STILL couldn't have a snake...Want to talk about frustration?

Well fast forward a bit, broke up with my ex, moved again, and have my own apartment. I had enough cash and space for THREE snakes. :banana:

Just be patient. Your time will come, and you'll be glad you waited. Until then, don't give up hope, and please stay postive, we need more positive people in the world, not less. :D

So sorry to hear this. If she changes her mind back again, I still have him and will bring him to the next WARE show for you!

I have gone through the same things that you have stated here. Its hard no doubt, but just cause things are hard you cant give up. If you really love snakes like you have stated, then don't give up!

The first reptile i ever owned was a leopard gecko (Roy) we saw one in a pet shop one day and i knew i wanted one my mom said "do your chores your homework and bring your grades up without being told for a whole month you can get one"(i was like 13 :P)
That whole month i did all that went from B's to Straight A's month went by i brought it up again and her exact words were "hehe No but see what you can do when you apply yourself?"i was like WTF!*sad face*
But I'm sneaky ;) another month went by and i asked about it again she said something along the lines of "behave and you can get one for Christmas" it was early dec so when i went Christmas shopping with my grandmother on the 23rd i bought one lol with all the accessories went straight home brought it in my room and hid him
Christmas morning i put a bow around his little carrier and waited :D we started opening gifts i said oh mom i almost forgot your present!!! i went into my room grabbed him brought him to the living room and handed her Roy ;) she was a little pissed off at first but it worked lol i got to keep him ;) so technically it was hers but I'm the one who cared for him :D
not long after that we got Geezer my Beardie :P

So sorry to hear this is how it happened. As much as you want one, she could have just said no to begin with if she planned on not letting you have it. While that would suck, too, if you live in her home you should respect her rules. It would just suck less, lol. I think whoever it was that had the idea to start the envelope with funding for it had a great idea!

If she won't buy it, eat a bunch of PB&J sandwiches and save your money. If she won't allow a snake into her house, then you're out of luck.

Thanks! I am really sorry about this. I am sure you could have easily sold him to someone else in all this time that I have had you waiting. =[
