So I ran into a little snag...
My mom said I could have a BP. Well now she changed her mind because she is all "petrified" about it being in the house....so the only way I can keep one is in the garage. However my dad does a lot of body work and painting in the garage and its not heated during the winter....so I don't know how that would work unless I build a custom "room" for them off the garage. I'm supposed to pick them up Sunday....now what do I do? Please give me ideas on what to do. I'm so mad at her for changing her mind. She told me I can have anything reptile except a snake....in the house atleast. Please help me out.

Ouch... hmm, I don't have many suggestions to give here. I waited until my parents moved to another state to get my first snake, lol. I wouldn't risk keeping a BP in an area where chemicals/fumes are common (painting), not to mention how difficult it could be to keep the enclosure at the right temperature during the winter. Just not a good idea.. If you have the ability to build a "room" off the garage, I can see that as your only option. As long as it is insulated and heated, and obviously secure from other animals being able to get in.

Hi Kevin,
I have a few suggestions. I don't have links on hand, but with a little searching and discussion, you can find out exactly why your mom doesn't like snakes and maybe by providing her with some accurate information (You can find a lot on this site, and I would be more than willing to help locate it), you can start to change her mind. Maybe you should take her to a reputable pet store that has healthy snakes and show them to her. Maybe if she sees you handling them and realizes that you know a lot about them, you can start to persuade her to change her mind. Best of luck, PM me if I can be of any help.

They won't let you have a snake, but they will let you add on to the garage? I'd just wait until you move out. Makes things a lot easier.
