i'm trying to convince my mom, any ideas??
she is afraid of snakes. lol.

if she's afraid of snakes, then a RTB is probably not the direction you want to take at this point.

It never hurts to let her know you've been doing research and present her with facts. One fact is a RTB is probably not a good beginner snake because of their size.

If you can convince her to start with corns or maybe even ball pythons, then prove your abilities to care for it and it will give her time to see that snakes aren't the demons that people portray them as.
