Only people that support my hobby/business is me my fiancé and my brother my dad doesn't mind snakes but doesn't get the entire picture of why...no one really bugs me about it they know I'm a grown up and I will so as I want no matter what they say. But I will say that if you can have a conversation with your mom and explain everything to her or even make a presentation of everything like deaths by reptiles,the industry/hobby of breeding,the out going and income of money and show her the key points in the hobby maybe she will come around. I know it ain't much help and u can only do so much to get the point across buy just keep your head up and just remember everyone likes there own things and not everyone likes things that others like!
