this should tell you something about the nature of the situation.

I don't keep Hots, but i'd take the advice people have been giving you on the thread. They're concerned for your well being, your families and that of the hobby.

I can bet that it would cause problems if the permit is in your mothers name and the snakes are yours, or someone in your house gets bitten handling the animal when she's not there or something of that nature.

Why don't you start with a known trainer species? Coachwhips, etc while you're looking for a mentor? This will show a potential mentor that you are SERIOUS about this.

Also, except for the first line, i would give this advice to ANYONE of ANY age that was looking at keeping hots.
