Well if they r afraid it will escape form the cage and slither in your house tell them if it escapes you will get rid of it and pay them money too.

Answer 5

Just say it eats once a week (wich they they mostly do) have a 10 gallon or 20 since u would have a small beginners snake and put it in a closet so she wont have to see it.And research milksnakes,cornsnakes,ball pythons and hognose snakes those are good starter snakes,.

Answer 6

1)  Wait until you're old enough to move out and then get yourself a snake.

2)  Save up the money for the aquarium, snake and food etc. and ask if you buy it, if she'll let you have it in your room (with a well secured lid on the snake and the food)

Answer 7

1. Make sure she doesnt mind mice/rats [dead ones]

3. research about it so that you know enough about what snake u want.

4. show her ur research

Answer 8

Answer 9

Just tell her ALL the good things about the snake that you want to get. Tell her you will pay for it and all it's food (if you can't then you need to look for another animal). For one snake it's about US $6-$12 a month for food for a snake that will eat mice and rats. All the accessories (tank, under tank heater, heat light, bedding, water dish, and hides) will range from US $70-$120. I would go ahead and get the size cage it should need as an adult so that you don't spend money on multiple tanks. Then the snake which can range from US $40-$150. So about US $110-$270 for the snake and equipment, then US $6-$12 a month for food. I hope this helps you.

Answer 11

Just go out and get one. Stop asking permission. They will get over it most likely - worst case scenerio they make you take it back to where you got it.

That's what I did and I've been keeping snakes now for 12 years.

Answer 12

if there is a privately owned exotic store near you (not petco or petsmart) then you could try getting your mom to go to the pet store with you. the employees are usually more than willing to take snakes out and let you see them and let your mom see them and get close. the employees might even let you hold one of the snakes yourself. once your mom sees that they are ok and that they don't usually bite maybe she will let you get one eventually. it may take more than one trip to the store to "convince her". just be patient.

the reason i said privately owned pet store is because the employees at petco and petsmart wont let you handle snakes that they have. and you wouldn't want to buy one there even if they did, the snakes there are usually not very healthy.

good luck with getting a snake.
