So I'm 16 and I live with my mom. lol. Sorry that just sounded funny. Anyway. I already have a corn snake, 2 cats and a couple mice (guess why), and technically we're paying an extra 25 bucks a month for 1 cat. So you see my problem. Would it be a bad idea to persuade my mom into letting me get a bp? Housing and whatnot is not a problem, I just don't know what my mom would think, and I'm not sure how much of a bad idea sneaking in another animal is..

Should I try anyway?

If so, how should I approach the issue?

Any advice would be appreciated.
