you never know your luck,try talking to your parents about it.i was always told no snaked are ever coming into our house,first i got a corn snake(mom freaked) now she loves it but dont touch it.then i got the BP.she is ill now but my mom is just as worried as i am.she loves snakes but wont touch them.she always asks about em , how they are eating.just ask them and they might be ok with it once they know the viv is secure.
