cornsnakes are an excellent choice! they are simple to care for and most of them are extremely well tempered!

to be totally honest, i think that the cornsnake will be MUCH easier to take care of than the frog & anole...afterall, you can keep a year's supply of frozen rodents in the freezer, and you dont have to deal with stinky mealworms/crickets.

i reccommend educating you mom a little more about the captive care of cornsnakes, their wonderful dispostions, etc...


my mom wouldnt let me have a snake either, but i caught this 5ft female black rat snake, and after keeping her for a week...my mom decided that snakes weren't so bad, and after i let "Milly" go, we went to the pet store & i got my first snake

its been 2 or 4 years since then, and now i have 5snakes

it sounds like you & you dad could talk your mom into it though!
