My mom won't let me get a corn snake?

Question

I've always wanted a corn snake ever since my brother and I stumbled across a reptile store. we went inside and the owner told us that the corn had the best temperment and that snakes were actually quite easy to manage. My dad was cool with the idea but my mom didnt like how it would need mice for food. she also says that taking care of two dogs is tough enough, even when I promised her I would take care of it. (this was the same promise that i gave when we originally got the dogs, and i have kept it of a total of 6 years and counting) does anyone have any ideas of how to get my mom to let me get a snake?

Answer 1

Get her to hate mice so she wont mind letting a snake eat one

Answer 2

when i went to petco the guy told me that corn snakes were pretty aggressive compared to other pet snakes like ball pythons. he even stuck his hand in the cage and waved it and all snakes (6 or 7) curled up into a ball and put their heads back like they were about to attack, then he took his hand out. if i were you, i would get  a different snake such a a python, even though they grow up to 6 feet.

Answer 3

Possibly out of the house, say in a garage with a proper setup for weather?

Answer 4

well i was like that when i wanted a "ferret". you know what i did? i went to the pet store and showed her the ferrets and explained to  her how cute, funny, playful, nice, and kool  they are, i researched ferrets and told her all about them, then my mom fell in love with ferrets and she let me adopted one for my b-day.

so research corn snakes tell your mom all about them bring your mom to the pet store show her the corn snakes tell her all about them, then work/ do your chores for her and soon she let you have the corn snake.

Answer 5

Well you could always find some one who has snakes and let your mom visit them to see how easy it is to care for them.  If its a fear thing you might not be able to get one until you move out!  Another idea if you can swing it is adopting a snake from a rescue shelter and taking care of it, perhaps after that your mom may see the light.

Answer 7

Buy it without her permission, then don't tell her where you got it. Can't return something that she doesn't know where you got it from.
