Parents think snakes are evil (I want a bp?)

[serpenttongues]

Also, in the beginning I just thought Op's parents wouldn't buy him a snake because they thought they were evil. Like I said I didn't read in depth, I just loosely stated how I got my first snake and showed my parents I was responsible enough to have a pet, and that they learned to respect them because of it. I just don't want anybody thinking I'm an irresponsible or ignorant snake owner. I've had a love/respect for them since I was a young child, and it's only grown as I've matured. I've taught many people the truth about reptiles, snakes in general, and have turned more than a few people in reptile lovers themselves. I am much smarter than I was at 15. Much more financially capable, too. That's why I had one snake from age 15-17, then acquired nine more snakes between 18-20.
Anyway, I'm glad OP got his snake, in a way his parents approve of, and I'm sure he'll be able to educate them. I'm glad there are young people who have a genuine interest for reptiles, and don't fall into that "eaten alive" bullcrap. So, much respect to you, OP. I'm sure your parents will see you as responsible after you care for your pet, and I'm sure they will also learn that they are not vile, evil, devilish creatures
