Well, after doing a lot of re-researching and saving up some money for all of the supplies, I asked my mom if I could get a BP for my birthday. Initially she said no, and told me that she didn't like BP's and she liked RTB's and all of this stuff. I like RTB's too but I would rather have something a bit smaller. Anyway, after some convincing by my sister's and I, telling her that I would pay for everything the snake needed and that I would feed f/t, she said I need to be really nice and that if I have had a good attitude until my bday then I can have one.
So not a solid yes, but knowing my mother, this means I can get one
Now all I have to do is order the thermostat/heat mat/thermometer, set it up for a while, then get the snake. I'm really happy!
Sorry, this is kind of random but I'm just really excited. Now I don't feel so ~secretive about all of my planning/research/money saving haha.
I'm hoping to get either a pastel or mojave at Repticon in July if she'll let me go.
