Default How could i convince my mum?

This is really like an addiction, I WANT MORE SNAKES! But my mum has convinced herself that im not getting another, oh the joys of being 16! Her excuses consist of you've got one, thats all you need and my favourite, I dont want another one of those bloody things in my house. Like another is going to make them automatically want to escape 24/7 and deadly? Anyway i have a feeling that its because Python was mentioned. Old people who know nothing about snakes seem to panic when a python is mentioned, ive explained that it wont eat her. (Even though she is 4' 11" )

Anyone think of any good arguments or tips to help me convince her, or am i going to have to hide it under my bed?

Tell her if she doesn't let you, you'll feed her chihuahua to your snake...
