Snake
Hey I need help convincing my parents to get me a snake! I want one soo bad, and I'd do pretty much anything for it. So how can I persuade them? Have any of you done it before, and have any pointers?
That would be great!
Thankss!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
You know, I really hate being the bearer of bad news, but if they said NO, I'm certain they mean it. (In other words, good luck on this one...)
I'm sure it isn't because they don't want you to have a pet snake. I'm sure it is because they are thinking of all the "what ifs" involved in having one.
Such as: "What if it gets out of it's tank and crawls into your bed while you sleep seeking the warmth of your body? What if it finds your neck nice and toasty and constricts around it crushing your windpipe?"
Yah, I know, not likely to happen. HOWEVER I'm sure this is a grave concern that goes through EVERY parent's mind when their child asks for a pet snake.
I'm not ranking having a snake- snakes make cool pets. My brother had an awsome python and I thought she was great.
However, as long as you live under your parent's roof, you MUST respect their decisions.
Do you think my parents allowed my brother to have a python? Oh hell, no! He waited until he moved out on his own. Sometimes that is the only way to do it.

Well, I think your parents know whats the best pet for your lifestyle. And they don't think it does, And maybe it will never fit your lifestyle. You shouldnt get a pet that's not fitings your agenda.
Also, Before getting a pet do your research.
A)It will prove to your parents you are responsible.
B)You don't know what you may be getting into. Snakes can be dangerous and getting one to look cool is not a good reason to get a pet.
And, Sometimes a pet just deosnt fit the family.
Also, Saying you want a BIGG snake is not enough research, Look up and learn about a certain breed of snake.We don't need anymore irresponisble pet owners out there. We already have enough;)

hmm i would say present them with a list of pro's and con's of why you should get a snake. They'll be proud to see that you understand their side of it, but you should end on a note of what you SHOULD get a snake so it leaves a lasting impression in their mind. Good luck!

You should prove them your responsibility. Research everything about snakes, including the cost of their equipment. Also, they eat mice... so feeding is a big problem. But I think that snakes only eat like once a week, but I'm not positive about that --> RESEARCH!!
Good luck!
