*sigh* In all seriousness, these are my LEAST favorite threads to reply to. I can’t help you, I never had to convince my parents to let me get a snake, it was my moms idea to get my 1st snake. Just show them that your mature enough to handle another one.

As a parent myself, I have to say that I doubt there’s anything anyone can tell you that’s going to convince your parents to let you get another animal. In the case of my own kids, I allow them to have herps and other pets but only ones that I myself am willing to care for.

As BoaBabe already stated, showing your parents that you’re responsible is likely the key. However, if you’ve only had and cared for a snake for 1 month, they’re probably still thinking that you may or may not be responsible, or that your new found hobby is a just a passing fad. Also, they might be still getting used to the whole snake experience themselves. Give them six months to get used to the snake you already have and evaluate your level of responsibility. Yes, I know it sounds like a life sentence, but it’s really not. After that, you should start planting seeds in their ears again.

Best of luck.
