My son is 13-2 years younger than you are and 2 years ago he wanted a snake. My husband and I keep burms and a retic so we talked about it and then contacted the man who owns our local reptile shop (we had become good friends with him) he allowed our children to volunteer at his shop a couple of hours on the weekends as long as their grades were good and they respected him and the shop. They both earned credit at the shop and they earned money doing odd jobs in the nieghborhood (cut grass, clean gutters, helping etc...) Well they each saved enough money to purchase their own ball python but before they did my husband and I made them write an essay on ball pythons-the husbandary, care ,etc......they finally each got one and were able to purchase the food and supplies with their credit at the reptile shop. They are responsible with their snakes and have done a great job. So good luck.

hmm i started with snakes because my aunt had a boa constrictor and we couldn't get one for the fact that my dad was afraid of them so after a summer camp i bought a longtailed lizard to warm my dad up to snakes it worked and i started with corns and moved on to bp's

I started keeping snakes because I was afraid of them. I always was, I always panicked when I saw a snake outside. And then... Year and half/two years ago, I saw a guy with a kingsnake around his neck in a pet store. I don't know what came over me, but I went right up to him and asked if I could touch his snake (sounds dirty ). I was instantly fascinated and hooked. I went home and immediately began researching snakes. I have not looked back .

I'm 13... and I got more snakes than you!!!
6 total this weekend
Well... it didn't take my mom a long time to get me a snake...
I had to ask her for 3-4 months straight...
Don't expect to get a snake right away... raise the money for all the stuff then just politeley ask... stating all the facts on how they are educational, cool and nice AND how they will not bite or kill you.
Also, NEVER let your mom watch the feedings...
