I'm 12 and what I had to do with my mother(who thought snakes were evil killers) was do alot of things with no complaints and showing her some info on how sweet and polite(yes, polite) snakes can be
But that is so awesome that your dad likes the idea, my dad thought I was insane(because I already have a Bearded Dragon and 2 Leopard Geckos)
