How do i persuade my parents into letting me have a Ball-Python?

It would help if we knew a little more about the situation: like why they don't want you to have a ball python. Details?

Ball pythons only average 3-5 ft. They only get a few pounds. They aren't big enough to eat rabbits, so your exaggerations are not helping your case. Some people feed them rats, others stick with mice. They can live off a diet of mice. These are not big snakes at all. Tell them you can feel frozen/thawed mice (which is actually safer for the snake) It's much easier than live. You can buy them at any petstore or in bulk online.

Do your research. Take a look at this website with them so Everyone knows the facts: http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/pythons/a/ballpytho...

Most people when they hear the word python they think a giant monster snake that gets like 30 feet long. But a ball python is the worlds smallest species of python and will only get to be about 5 feet max. You can't feed a ball python rabbits they are just to small to eat one. As for rats yes you would need to feed rats but you could try feeding your snake pre killed rats. And ball pythons are known for their non aggressive behavior. They are a very docile snake and rarely ever bite. The type of python your parents are thinking of is the reticulated python the world longest species of snake. If you want any more info on ball pythons or would like me to email your parent have you or them contact me a wtzonker@yahoo.com

yea there the cheapest of the pythons to bye around 20-45 dollars price varies

tell them that they star fairly small

and that they are not aggressive then dont bite

they probably would never see it when its in the cage and when you take it out say you will stay in your room and they never have to see it

its cheap to feed and only once a week

just tell them all the facts about them and keep asking

say at least go to the store and look at it then while your there ask if you can hold on and little by little ask while you are there

merely tell them which you somewhat want a snake. Thats what i did and my dad hates snakes and that i finished up getting 4 snakes lol. To make issues worse considered one of them have been given out and my dad nonetheless enable me get yet another one. yet remember ball phthons get authentic enormous rapid. My uncle had one he had to make its very own cage. whilst he had to do away with it the zoos does no longer take it by way of fact it replaced into to important.

say ill pay for half of it ill take care of it
