Question

Ok I have 1 guinea pig, 2 turtles, 2 parakeets, and I used to have 5 lizzards and they are all mine. Well I found this really cute albino gopher snake online and it has special needs but I really want to save it, it is in a shelter right now. But I first need to know the size of cage I would need and the price of it, I can offord the snake because it is only $50.00 but I need to make sure I have enough left for a cage! please help! I also need tips on how I can presuade my parents to let me get it! I really need help!

Answer 1

Well for starters, how about trying the following:

#1 Cleaning your room and making sure that it STAYS clean and tidy.

#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.

#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.

#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.

#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters & brothers.

#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make "yuck" faces when given it.

#7 Don't talk rudly to adults

#8 Always share with other kids.

#9 Go to bed when you are told to.

#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.

# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.

I'm 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to your life and family. :)

Answer 2

promise to get good grades or something that you know your parents want you to do. I did this except the opposite way (i got half a years good grades and then the python) If your parents are like mine and expect you to do something before you get the snake then the next time your home by yourself cleen the whole house and make dinner or something. As for the cage go to the petshop and ask how much a terrarium will cost for a albino gopher snake and if you can't afford it then when you clean the house or whatever you choose to do ask if they will pay the dif in exchange for you doing chores or something. Or you could use it as a birthday or christmas present.

Hope this helps.
