Will I ever change her mind about them? No. But I have gotten her used to the fact that I like snakes and I will keep owning them. I got my first ball python after I moved out. I told my parents after the fact and they flipped. They told me to return the snake, but there was no way that was happening. I don't live in their house, I pay for my own things and I make my own money to pay for them.

Either wait or just constantly spout snake facts to eventually get your mom used to the idea of having one in the house. It is really just a matter of education.

Don't loose your moms trust by just bringing one home. Its not worth the yelling and fighting and grudges that will occur because of it.
thats cool yea i know i would never do anything like that because me and my mom are really close and she woould hate me if i did something like thta
