well if they don't want you to have one there isn't all that much you can do, except explain the plus sides of snakes.
They aren't messy,
They aren't exactly expensive,
They're fairly independent animals,
They're quiet.
Ball pythons are perfect, by the way, harmless really. mine's never bitten anyone in its life. you should get a small one [whatever type you choose] because it will appeal more to your parents. And you don't have to feed it live food for a while if you get a young one. They make absolutely wonderful pets. so do corn snakes, which are a far much better beginner snake. corn snakes only get to abot 3 feet.
You don't. If you want one get it when you are 18.
Honestly, you can't convince them. Either they will let you or they won't.
if your parents wont let you get sponsored, well, id yell at em.
you say parents are going with
say please
I have the same question!
you ask them
make a deal with them and stick to it :)
tell them you want rats
come out of the closet
be a good kid
Its hard. ( I'm trying to convince mine now!) Show your parents you are responsible by helping out with other pets ( If you have any) Do chores without being asked. If your parents don't like snakes, like mine, try teaching them about how wonderful snakes really are. I know it is hard, but keep trying!
