  • Have parents who are stubborn or strict as heck and won't let you get an animal? Well, here is my guide on how to convince your parents to let you get a pet. It's tried, tested, and yes, true. ;) These tips have worked for me, and trust me, getting animals is something my parents do NOT take lightly. It will take effort on your part, but this is the method that has always ended with a yes from my parents, given time. Best of luck to you and I hope you can get that furry, scaley, or feathered friend you've always wanted!

    My first pet was goldfish, my dad said he is going to throw the aquarium out of room if I buy it ,but I bought them and decorated my aquarium so good that
    he was like : we need to put it in living room cause the living room would look better....
    Me: I bought that for me so, it(aquarium) stays with me in my room...
    Dad: get yourself another
    Then I got me more aquariums lol

    Very good points here! Mommy doesn't always have time to care for you, herself, and pets. That's usually a parent's main concern is who's taking care of it.

      I feel you. It takes patience and insane persistence. It might not even happen until you move out (me with my parents and snakes lol) If your parents are the forgiving type, maybe ask for forgiveness instead of permission? although generally I don't recommend that for obvious reasons haha.

    Hey. I'm so sad today. I am moving into a tiny house and cannot bring my two 4 year old RES with me (1 male and 1 female) Because I cannot haul 200gallons of water around with us. I need to find a home for them.
    Than I am going to buy a couple of Baby Cherry Head Red Foot Tortoises. 1 male and 1 female.
    Those I will be able to travel with. 😁

    It took me 1 year to convince my parents to get a reptile. I wanted a ball python, but my mom wouldn't allow it (she hates mice and couldn't handle having dead mice in her fridge lol) but my dad was fine with it. I decided to find a different reptile that will be more "reasonable", so I decided on a leopard gecko. I did a lot of research and randomly after a month of wanting a leopard gecko, my dad just said, "Want me to get you a tank for your gecko?" I was thrilled! If you are trying to convince your parents to get you a pet, please have patience. It will be worth it in the end. I am happy to say that I am getting a male leopard gecko next month after a lot of patience! :D (I am not a very patient person and it was hard, but you sometimes just have to go through it if you want to convince your parents to get a pet)
