If he did break my rules there would be a punshiment, that would be getting rid of the snake if that is what the broken rule was. Why are jails so full?? Because there are people who think it is their right to do as they please. Learn respect and follow the rules that are set.
I completely agree with this. Manipulation is not the way to go here. I have two daughters myself and if they wanted a snake, they would have to ask me and show me that they really want this and show me that they can be responsible.
