Hi,
I wanna get a new baby, maybe an albino or Mojave. Been looking at all the nice pics on here and websites etc... I even scheduled a visit to the local reptile dealer to check out what's on show and prepared to come home with something.
However, I told my girlfriend yesterday that I was thinking of adding another Royal to my current collection (of one  ) and she flat out said "NO!"
The following exchange of words took place:
Me: "I'm getting another snake
Her: NO! You ain't moving in then!
Me: (silence)
Her: Seriously, if you get a snake you can't move in
Me: But I want one, I've done lots of planning. I have all the gear and the vivariums stack really nicely... they'll match the furniture
Her: NO!
Her (again): To be honest I don't even like your cats
Me: I don't think they like you... (Silence for about 4 minutes)... I'm getting one anyway
Her: I swear I'll *&@#ing punch you in a minute!
Me: I want one!
Me: I want one!
Me: Please let me get one!
Me: I'm gonna get one!
Me: Don't wanna live with you anyway!
Her: (Gave disgusted look, like I'd ripped out her heart and feed it to Redd)
End of conversation (I started watching The Big Bang Theory)
The thing is I need to persuade her. I actually think she's being serious. It's not like she dislikes Redd (my Royal), so I can't understand why she's so angry and against it.
Has anyone got any tips as to how I can persuade/convince her?
Your help and support greatly appreciated!

I think she'd like a morph, but that'd make me jealous!
Off the Crystal Palace ASAP me thinks! |

Sweet what does she want, a normal or a morph |

Now she wants a royal of her own!
Guess we've solved the problem!
Thanks all! |

as for her reading the forum now with a bit of luck she will get drawn into the hobby then it'll be a case of which of you has the best/most snakes lol |

Sorry if I've offended anyone, not my intention.
We've actually found the situation and the replies quite therapeutic, to the point where we've had such a laugh and joke ourselves, she's up for picking out our new baby.
Thanks for helping to resolve the situation.
As I said above, I've not been disrespectful intentionally. My girlfriend reads the forum now, that can only be good thing.

Who'd like to see her?
I'll let you decide if she's worth losing for a snakey!
I'm all for a laugh and a joke, but I find this completely disrespectful.

Like the idea of the pictures, but if miss redd reads the potential replies you may get, it'll probably be ex miss redd. |

Say you want to try breading so you need two, that worked for me, I know have 5 royals
To get my carpet python I said she would eat the left overs from the royals,
When im ready to get a rainbow boa, I'll say we the carpet python ain't Eating the left overs so its a no brainer,
I'm quite lucky I know what to say

Dinner in a fancy restaurant, then say "I have to ask you something....I've been planning this for a long time" lol |

Wow! This is all very positive! Some not so positive!
In reply to how hot she is... Probably a 6/6.5.
I'm really working hard on getting her to believe I've always had two in mind...
You're right, a flat out no is rude. She doesn't see that. I just think next time she wants something, I'll deny her of it! Haha, that'll teach her!
It's only a royal right?
Thanks... Next steps? Any ideas? |
