FRUSTERATED!!

Thanks for the help. I answered all my moms questions when she asked them. I have been reading upon BP's for about 2 months now. So i think that im pretty knowledgable in this catagory. At first she said ok. She was just worried about how expensive its going to be when I feed it. I explained to her how it wont be as expensive as she thought. Shes just afraid of them and I dont know how to help her.

Heres a story that I have. About a couple of years ago I found a snake in the back of my moms office and I kept it. I think it was a rat snake. I kept it in the house for about a week. I decided to let it go because I thought it would be the best thing to do. She didnt care about keeping it in the house. Now all of a sudden shes scared of them. I dont know how she can be scared of them considering she a PEST CONTROL TECH. She deals with these practicly everyday. I dont know, I think that she is just trying to find excuses for me so I dont get one. I want one and im ready for the responsibility. She said maybe in a couple of months but I explainded to her that the rescuer probably wont have her in the next few months. I dont want to rescuer person to have to be resonsible for my snake. I want to take care of it, etc. I dont want to count on the guy to take care of it until she lets me. Its hard to explain, but do you get what im sayin?

yeah, i know what your sayin. Parents are sometimes very hard to convince, it took me almost a month to get permission to buy a hamster !! just keep on tellin her that you will be responsible for the snake and she doesnt have to worry about it

Well, just ask her to come to a reptile or pet store with you. Just to look. She''l probably be okay with that. If she warms to any of the babies (they are pretty cute), then ask to take them out and hold them. That way she can see how docile they are - and might even try holding one herself. It just might convince her.
