hello,

I need some help convincing my parents to let me get a snake of some sort, lol. I already have a few herps, so i know i could give the animal proper care, time, ect. I just need help winning my parents over.

I was thinking a carpet python, red-tailed boa, or kenyan sand boa. I would really like one of the first to, since they are medium sized, normally well tempered, arboreal snakes. The sand boa would be a last resort, even though i really like 'em, they don't get all that big...

So what do you guys think? any tips? i'm sure somebody's been in my position before, lol.

Thanks,
Brandon

hey,
Try making a deal with them cause that is what i did and it worked.

hopes this helps.

first i think you should think smaller a boa isnt realy a first snake i dont think. try a ball python it get to a good size but not realy anything to worrie about. with the whole parents kiss their u kno wuts till their chapped. also research them show them that you know what kind of thing you are in for.
