Another arguement is she says I already have enough pets, and when is enough enough.. but why does it matter? They're my pets. I pay for them, their needs, vet bills... AND they're in my room! Ugh.. ok, done venting.

Well, the good news is I did get her from "absolutely not" to "thinking about it", so maybe in a few more months I'll get her there.
Get a tub and hide him in your closet. She'll NEVER know.

I don't recommend getting a 20g to start with, you may end up buying a 10 gallon anyway because the animal may get stressed from so much space. Hides and cages must grow with the snake, the snake should not grow into them.
