I own one juvi grey rat snake that I have been taking care of for over 4 years now, and I would love to add another rat or corn snake to my small pet collection. The only problem is - I still live at home(I am 16) and my mom isn't too keen on me getting another snake. I'm sure many of you may or may not have gone through this - my mother is not afraid of snakes, she just said, "Do you really need another one?" Is that a question? Hahaha. Does anyone have any ideas I could use to help persuade her?

Thanks!
