I really want a python, but my girlfriend says NO! I thought about it and I dobt think its OK for her to tell me what I can't have. She says its been disrespectful by doing so knowing she's scared to death. I replied I would keep it away from her and would not keep it in our bedroom nor would I taunt her at all! She still is very upset and I think its so petty... What should I do? Oh and she said snakes are the devil... WTH!!

What would you feed your python? Have you read up on a python's care and housing needs?

I'm doing all of my research before I get one. I would feed it mice to begin with and I know it needs a heat lamp and an enclosure and certain things you do and don't do like holding certain way. I would get a baby!!

Where would you get the mice?

I think if you two live together and she is uncomfortable with having one in the house, then yes, it's disrespectful of you to get one. Many people have issues with certain "pets" and you have to understand that.

It actually looks like you're going to get one no matter what... like getting this snake means more to you than your girlfriend does.

Where would you get the mice?

From the pet store or order them frozen off line. I also have a decent size room off my kitchen I could keep my python in we aren't planning in using it for anything or there is a room before you walk into one of my bathrooms.

So, according to a previous post from you, you're the "wowing type"...

Is getting a snake even though she doesn't want one part of your wowing routine?

That's a rude comment and no, I love my girlfriend. Its just I feel like just because she's scared doesn't mean I should not be able to obtain one. Besides once it grows into a beast I will give it away... I have considered a stupid iguana or something. Maybe even a pot belly pig I just want a out of the norm pet...

1. Your girlfriend will never see the python.
2. Your python will never escape.
3. Your girlfriend will never know you are feeding cute little mice to a snake.
4. When friends come over, they won't be able to see the python nor will you take it out to show off, especially if your girlfriend is there.
5. You won't get one until you know everything there is to know about raising and keeping pythons.
6. You have plenty of money for this enterprise.
7. You really don't mind upsetting your girlfriend.

Wow I never looked at it like that but yeah I guess you could say so. I'm not BORING or plain...

That's a rude comment and no, I love my gf.

It's not rude, it's the truth. She told you she doesn't like snakes and won't feel comfortable having one in the house but you're determined to get it anyway. That tells me that getting the snake is more important to you. Sorry I don't agree with you but not agreeing doesn't make it rude.

No I told her I wouldn't just not mess with it and no it won't escape its called they have secure inclosures. I wouldn't put it all in her face and duh everything takes money...

What about a hedgehog? A tarantula?

Eh what can I say if she wants to break up with me over a snake then that means it wasn't meant to be..
... you only live once... oh by the way mice aren't cute!

What about a hedgehog?

He doesn't really want to hear any of what we have to say. He came here expecting people to say she was wrong and he should get the snake despite how she feels about them.

I really wanted something monster like: /

I'm a SHE and no I understand to a degree but I'm very pig headed I will agree to that. I just don't understand what's so bad about wanting what I want. I mean OK here's a metaphore... You are scared of clowns so you never take your kids to the circus?

That's a rude comment and no, I love my gf. Its just I feel like just because shes scared doesnt mean I should not be able to obtain one.

Well, when I first read your post my thoughts were similar to the comments by odinn7. Just imagine you are very scared of or really hate something and your girlfriend just decides to put it in the house no matter what you say. If I were you I won't do that.

Once we were at a flea market and I saw a pig he would reach several hundred pounds and she was like nooo to that. I wanted a pittbull and so I got one I wanted her a playmate and she was like nooooo to that. So I got him while she wasn't around and ahe loves them

It has nothing to do with circuses and clowns. It has to do with respect for another person. (And if my husband or I disliked clowns, no, we'd never take our kids to the circus. Clowns are creepy. John Wayne Gacy was a clown at kids' parties.)

I'm a SHE

Oh yeah, golly, my mistake... it was so clear from your post in which you left out that minor detail that you weren't a guy.

Have fun with your snake.

I do understand and I told her she could get a terancalua and I am scared to death of a spider!

What's a "terancalua"?

You know a BIG spider I know its not spelled right geesh...

So you don't care about your girlfriend's feelings about having a snake, and you don't care about spelling words correctly, especially in a thread in which the site editor is posting?

I really didn't know how to spell that it was a guess, I really do care about her feelings and my dad wasn't real happy about it either :( I won't get a snake... What can I get that's out of the norn?

I had already used the word before you did, so you could have copied from my use or looked it up.

I would get a hedgehog.

Perhaps finally act like a real friend and partner by asking for her input.

Yep I see that... and U do ask her, however I'm not going to just not always do what she wants me not too. I have done my share if being fair plenty of times... thanks for your help... I don't want a tiny hedge hog either...

Friends and partners are fair ALL the time.

Spidey senses tingling - we have a troll here.

I was starting to think the same thing.

It did help me while away the evening.

Find a little milk snake in the wild and say you just want nurse it back to health. You can say you saw a cat drop it or you hit it with the lawn mower and you WILL release it after a short while. After she sees how docile it is, and how easy it is handle it... she might try to touch it , see how it is not a slimy devil and then you let it go and MAYBE someday while in a pet store together you could see a cute little rock python and she may see things differently... worked with my wife... our cat brought us a garner snake... cut, bleeding and bitten but the little guy survived and she saw that it was just an animal... not furry, not really even cute... but not dangerous and evil... now we have several and she hanles them all the time... Good luck
