Finally!

[kevinb]

I finally found a way to keep some ball pythons in my house without my mom knowing just until I move out. So with that idea set in motion I am starting to save for my breeding stock. I am going to pick up a male and female butter in the hopes of producing some super butter bels in a couple years. My plan is to make a roll out under bed "cabinet" to hold my tubs in. I have to do some measurements to see how many I can fit. My question is if they are sandwhiched right next to each other in my "cabinet" do you think there will be enough air moving through their tubs To keep them with fresh air? I am going to draw up some plans tonight and put some pics up later. I'm really excited to be getting my first ball pythons. I may even get a pair of bci also. Thoughts on my breeding plans and possible answer to my question?

I don't think hiding pets from your parents are a good idea at all actually...

[mommanessy247]

what if your mom goes under your bed for some reason and discovers your snakes?
not gonna be very easy explaining that one.
as for air circulation under a bed, i dont imagine there'd be much...

If you're planning on moving out in the near future, why not just save your money and purchase them when you've moved out?

[DemmBalls]

Yeah...This has BAD idea written all over it! Save you money and just buy the snakes when you move out.

Because waiting another year sucks. Plus I have already been hiding two snakes from my mom for months. The only one who has issues with the snakes are my mom. My dads all for it and says I can have as many as I want. My mom think that my little ball python is going to escape and kill her in her sleep. She assumes it gets huge because its a 'python'. If I could move out now I would. But I can't without my girlfriend helping with rent and since she is just a bus girl and still with one year left of high school its impossible. I just hate my mom's rules. I pay her rent and pay for all my other bills. I even took out a $1,200 loan for her so she could pay her loan since she didn't pay it and they repossessed my car because of it. She should be greatful that I do that stuff for her. Because I could be a real a$$ and just tell her to shove off. I don't understand Why she wont let me get them I even said I Would give her a percentage of the money I make off the babies. Just grrrrrr.....!!!

I guess it's a matter of her house, her rules. Even though you're paying rent, you're living under HER roof, and if she doesn't want snakes in her house then I guess you shouldn't have snakes.

Honestly, another year waiting to move out is nothing. I had to wait close to that until I could move away from a psychopath useless roommate, and I moved in May (thank GOD)! --> That was an ACTUAL problem! I almost turned into a murderer.

Anyways, just enjoy the snakes that you have right now. Compromising snakes overall well being (I don't know how they'd fare in a drawer under a bed) for your "want" of getting more shouldn't be an option.

Just wait it out...It'll go by faster than you think.

Not really a good idea..it'll only make it worse when you get found out.. Sorry.

[kevinb]

Well she will be mad to find out I didn't get rid of the last snake I said I got rid of....I don't really care to be honest she is more of a dictator than a mother and only wants to associate with me when she needs some cash Because they can't live off $1,800 a week. When I can do it for $240 a week. So yeah she can shove it. There are many reasons why I'm moving to Texas....the main reason to get as far away from my "family" as possible.
