Hi I'm new, and there's a problem...

Get a job, get good grades, otherwise be a model child

I was not able to start getting pets of my own unless I saved up and bought them myself. Find a way to earn money (if you're too young for a job, try negotiating extra chores for extra $$) and save it up until you can afford the snake, cage, and food. That is usually a great way to show responsibility and maturity deserving of a pet snake.

this x 2. except instead of a snake, cage, and food, save up for a snake, food, and a thermostat. thermostat first IMO. you can always get the cage later and keep it in a $5 tub from walmart. but a decent thermostat would be my first purchase, even before the snake.
