Parents and reptiles!

[CoolioTiffany]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it

To PurplePython: Like I told you, I've got 9 snakes all well cared for and eat without hesitation. I'm younger than the OP like Walt had stated and I've been keeping snakes since I was 10. I'll also be 15 later this year and will most likely have a lot more snakes than I do right now.

My point is that age does not matter to whether you have the responsibility of owning snakes or not. It really is up to the OP's choice to own a snake and be responsible. I see why you got furious but it was really not needed since all the OP was asking was about how to go about convincing his parents into having a snake of his own so he can get into this enjoyable hobby.

To the OP: I apologize for the disrespectful posts on this thread, so I will give you the answer you were looking for.

If you want to prove to your parents about having a snake of your own, let them now you have full responsibility of caring for it and show that you have that responsibility by doing things around the household and helping them out. Let them know you'll be paying for everything.

Also, if you need suggestions on where to get stuff for cheap like hides or water dishes just ask us and we'll give ya some places to visit. I personally like the Dollar Tree the most for hides & dishes
