I currently have the same problem. I'm almost 20 years old but since I still live with my mom and pop I still can't Have a larger snake. My.mom is the main issue as well. She has a phobia of large snakes And since she hears the word python She is paranoid of it escaping And killing her in her sleep. She allowed me a Baby garter I got from an expo because it was small. Now That he has put on a few inches she constantly nags about How big it is and tells me that one day I may come home to it missing and my dog with a new toy. We have had our share of arguments over the subject but I Have given up. I'm moving out next summer and my girlfriend who whole heartedly supports my hobby said I can have a snake room (yes she is That cool. ) I don't really want to wait but I Have to. Its her house and her rules sure I pay her rent....but she is Still my "landlord". I currently have a seperate savings account for snake funds. By the time I move out ill have money for a few morphs....more than I would Have now. So Just be patient. If you keep baggering her she will probably be more not up for the idea like my mom was.
