well, with tax returns coming next month, my SO was telling me what was on his list for goodies when we get the money. He asked me what I really wanted, I said I cant get it now and left it there. He asked me again, and I said, you sure you want to know? he says yes so I told him...

I really want a rainbow boa...very badly.

he wasnt too agreeable to my wants. He got mad for a few minutes...I told him it wasnt something I was going to go out tomorrow and do, but he was still cranky.

I guess what I want to know is 2 fold...

1. what to do when your SO isnt as into snakes as you are?

2. how do I tell him I dont think its fair that he can get what he wants and I cant simply because its another pet?

I really wasnt planning on getting one right now, but in the near future I would love to have a rainbow boa. so what can I do? he said "not in the forseeable future". is that like the equavilent of never?

its not like I dont have space for another snake. right on top of the other 2. works for me. just frustrated that yet again my wants are tossed aside till its something else he wants too.

anyway, any opinions? (my SO is male, not that it matters, so maybe some of you who experienced the same thing can give me some advice?)
