Moving

[JLC]

Hahaha, thanks, but my dad kinda hates snakes (how insane is that?), and it's a stretch in itself that he might have to put up with one every other week.

It's not insane. It's very understandable. And an attempt to understand that difference and accept it will go a LONG way toward getting HIM to also understand that you LIKE snakes (which I'm sure he also thinks is "insane") and maybe he'll become more accepting as well.

Anyhow...enough lecturing!

Ok...if two different snakes are out of the picture...then you have two options. TRY to move the snake each week when you switch homes. If you get a laid-back snake who isn't too easily stressed out, it might not mind. You may never know unless you try. OR...just leave the snake at your Mom's house, if she's a bit more accommodating than your Dad is.

You can try moving the animal with you...but also have a back-up plan if the constant moving makes it quit eating (which is very likely, but not a definite outcome).
