Finally!

Not to play devils advocate.......but when I was growing up, my mom was not an animal person, though she never denied us having pets, so long as she didn't have to see it, feed it, or smell it lol.

After many cats, rodents, snakes etc. my brother & I decided we wanted a dog , so we saved our monies, and adopted a red nosed pit bull, mind you we didn't think to ask my mothers permission (we knew the answer would be no), so we kept this dog hidden in my brothers room, well one day mom decides to go into brothers room, and what does she see.....this adult pit bull staring her down , needless to say, there was hell to pay when we got home, and after much pleading, crying, & bargaining, Ruby was allowed to stay .

After my brother went into the army, and I married and left home, my mother cared for Ruby, her lil guard dog.

I don't agree with keeping things from your mother, but I can certainly see why you do.
Just keep this in mind, if you do get the snakes, and keep them in your room, you have to ask yourself this:

1 .If/when she finds them, and throws a fit & demands you get rid of them on the spot, do you have somewhere/someone else to keep them?

2. When you move to TX, are you driving or flying? If flying, how will you transport the animals?


I would have a talk with her, or simply write it out in a letter to her, along with an info sheet on the Balls. If you are paying her rent etc. I would not loan/give her extra money, just tell her you're broke.

I know it's hard, and feels soooo frustrating right about now, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
