Hey man atleast you have one lol. My mom still doesnt think im getting one. My dad will let me though and im getting one in 4 days at the reptile show ( I already bought all the stuff). Ive told her everything all the facts about how good they are and easy to take care of. she just doesnt like reptiles at all. No reason. Just she doesnt like them. Shes made up every excuse you can ever think of, even when she knows nothing about snakes. Ive heard them all.
And i was sposto get it when i was in 7th grade. She LIED to me. ( said if i get good grades then i can get it, i got the good grades then she acted like she never said i could get it) Now im gonna be a senior in HS. I kept telling her i was gonna get one and she seemed ok with it then she started saying no. Last time i talked with her about it she was saying stuff like i dont have enough money to feed it, i was like you only feed it once a week....Then shes like what ever! Like she thought that she would have to take care of it and stuff which deffinatley isnt the case.
I cant tell you how to persuade your mom though lol. They all seem hopeless. My friends mom wont let him get one because she thinks it will eat the dogs, and their birds.... even when you tell her thats never going to happen.
