Either way, it's not right for her to expect you to give up pets that you "love...so much and raised from babies". I hope your situation all works out OK & you aren't delayed returning. And I sure hope you don't re-home your snakes. (don't fall for any 'guilt trips' lol...you have a right to enjoy what YOU enjoy!)
Thank you so much! I just calm down and argue with my mom. I'm going to keep them!
And still haven't find someone who can take care of them when I leave. Super nervous! I was even thinking about asking people in reptile show......
