Before I went into the military, I caught a Rough Green Snake and my mom told me that was all I could have. Then came alots of ball Pythons and several years later and lots of training I dabbled into Venomous stuff. Now out of the military and with my own place, the word "limit" isn't in my dictionary. And when my folks come over my mom likes looking at my Ball Pythons, especially my Ivory. They eventaully come around.
Persistance is the key!
