tried ALL of it. I went to pet store and handled a ball python. They know almost as much as me since I told them so much. I told them I have room and I can afford everything.

They just no its icky and ugly. They keep on telling me to give up. I have gotten grounded for insisting what they call "alot". I still want one. I seriously don't know what to do to prove myself. I think it is also unfair since my brother has a dog which he didn't pay for and doesn't take care of him . He is near my age yet he gets a pet. I also had a cat at one point and took perfect care of him , he was evil though. When we gave him to a pet rescue agency it went straight to the founder and even she gave him up. This is part of why it gets me mad. Sorry if I sort of went off ,but I had to get this off my chest. *releif*(is that spelled right)
