Step one: move out of house with reptile-phobic mother.

Step two: marry tolerant spouse and move 2000 miles away from mother, just to be safe.

Step three: wait for husband to buy used BMW sports car without permission.

Step four: apply a light coating of emotional blackmail.

Tah-dah! PET SNAKE.

Ugh, I know how that feels. My mom is terrified of my BP and I only got it because we agreed to feed it only at my dads house. Lucky for me his dad used to have a Burm he was growing up so he was used to seeing it eat rabbits and stuff.

Yeah, and I managed to move away from my Mom, but my mother-in-law is a whole other kettle of fish. She's so terrified, my husband's convinced she'll never set foot in our house again if she even knows there were once, at any point, pet snakes on the property.

So every time she visits, I have to remove them. All of them. And all traces of their existence. Do you know how hard it is to make a collection of a dozen ball pythons vanish into thin air twice a year? GAH.
