I would say a corn snake, a bird, and a ball python is hardly a zoo. And if it was, I would say its a weak zoo and I would never go. Tell him to get a baby female and it will be no problem to get rid of it as it ages. I promiss I will buy it for whatever you paid for it or possibly more depending on how big it is when you sell it. Tell him it can be your start in making money because female ball pythons are nearly worth their weight in gold due to being able to have expensive babies.

Start cross dressing and explain that this is what they have to look forward to. I think they will see the snake as the lesser of the two evils.

I dont know about that...there are a few lines of pastels and they are all mixed around. Mine actually could be from the NERD lemon line though. In my opininion they are all the same but I think the blondes hold the best color into old age. Most are just a sceme to make them worth more.

No one can "help" you convince your dad. Everyone is going to tell you to show him that your resposible, and thats the only thing you need to do.

Do you breed any of your bp or do you keep them for pets? I am saving up for a pair of albinos.

Are you talking to me, or eunectes? I don’t, they are pets, but I might breed in the future.

And the piebald that eunectes is holding isn’t his, its a breeders that is a friend of his. Eunectes has a normal and a pastel I beleive, and I am pretty sure he doesn’t breed.

I suggest set up the cage already(if you have it) then your parents will know that you really want this snake. That’s what I did. good luck.(nobody can ever have to many snakes)
