Question

I want a Corn snake.

Answer 1

If your parents don't want one then you're not getting one.

Answer 2

Well I was in your situation once too well more of a year ago! It took me months to convince my parents to let me have a snake.

1st: You have to show them that you are responsible to take care of your room and yourself. Which means you don't need all of their help.

2nd: Do ALOT of research on the corn snake.

3rd: Explain to them everything, what the requirements are for the snake.

4th: Give them a few days to think about it and during that time, you still and always have to show responsibility of yourself.

5th: When your parents gives you an answer, if its a yes then that's good but if it is a no then just give them a few more days to see that you can do this yourself.

Remember that this snake will be yours. Do your best to take care of it. Your parents will understand. Your parents are probably scared that it could kill you...you have to explain it to them nicely.

I just want you to know that taking care of a snake isn't all easy as some people think. They do have to be handle often and there are certain times you shouldn't handle a snake too. Plus they do rasie your bills because of heating. If it isn't around the right temp. then many things could happen to the snake. So please do all your research before getting a corn snake, for your sake, the snake's sake, and your parent's sakes too. I would recommend you to inform your parents about the bills too because if it goes up and you didn't' tell them...things aren't going to end so well.... trust me, I didn't tell my parents about how the bill is going to go up until I got yelled at and was told to give away my snake...but with much convincing again I got to keep him. =]

Research had change my parents' mind. Though my mom didn't care to much...she still dislike them until this day but now they learn to accept it. And they don't mind anymore.

PS- Please don't catch ANY snake outside...harmless or not. Garden snake or rat snake can carry dieases. Well any snake can but it is more likely that a wild snake will.

I hope this could help you!

Just email me of you need anything!

Answer 3

Just find all the information about it. Show to your parents each day. But don't whine about it. If they say no just look a little down and go back to your room. The next day find more interesting facts. Or you can just tell them to you a garter instead of corn. If garter. Tell them they will clean up a bug infestation. and you wont need to feed mice even tho mroe nutrients. But bugs and insects and fish ok for them to eat. But i have no advices for corns sry.

Answer 4

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 5

Answer 7

If they said no, I would NOT annoy them. Just get on the website that has the snake you want. Find only the good or interesting facts. And casually bring them up. Try to make a convicing arrgument. Say youve read everything there is to read about them. Your ready to get one and you will do extra chores:D Usually works ... lol
