(Which is totally crazy and a waste of money) Hell they even told you that you could own just 1 animal just 1 and it cannot be a snake, and you are an absolute animal lover who one day would like a couple dogs, 2 ferrets, some snakes, and many more animals. What do you do? Lol I know stupid post but I want to get peoples ideas.
Sounds to me like the person that you are dating is trying to use your animals in a way to control you. Sorry, thats just what it sounds like to me. If they really love you, then they should compromise, not tell you that you can't have them, or that you have to build a reptile house to keep them in.

There are a lot of people that are not going to like snakes. People like that are not ever going to like them, there is nothing you can do about it. On the other hand, if they are just afraid of them, then you can help by having them handle snakes. Make sure the snake that they are handling is used to being handled, and is very docile.

Either way, hope everything works out for you.
