    Convincing parents

    It took me 16 years to convince my mom to allow me to get a snake. Since then I have become an expert at concincingz her for more and every time hey say this is the last one. that just never happens lol. Once again i have won he arguement and recieved the go ahead for another one. The reason i must have permission is because while im in college they stay with her but just wanted ro know how many of you are great at this talent wether being with parents or spouses . Lol

    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!

    I love that kids think they actually get something past their parents. Believe me, if she didn't want it you wouldn't have it.

    Im glad to see others in this talent haha. And JohnNJ I agree with you. They didnt like em at first now they always want me to get them to let her hold one. She talks to them, excited for feeding, and plays favorites. This is an addicting hobby. Gotta love it.

    Why not find a friend and rent an apartment so you can keep your snakes? Thats what I did this year, trust me its not fun being away from them and its way to expensive to go home every weekend to feed them. Plus most apartments are cheaper than living on campus. Some things to think about.

    It was waaayyy cheeper to get an apartment for me too.


    At first my husband was not thrilled but let me get one snake. I now have three. I was just at an expo picking up rats and now he wants to get a KSB and a pair of Brazilian Rainbow boas. Its cute to see him get interested in my hobby but still pretends that he's not really into snakes.
    0.1 Pastel Lesser Platinum (BP)
    0.1 Dumerils Boa
    0.1 Indian Sand Boa (Sunset)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Anery)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Rufescen)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Paradox Albino)
    1.0 Kenyan Sand Boa (Paradox Snow)
    And a lot of Tarantulas
