How can you get a pet cornsnake without your parents knowing?

Don't even think about it ! WHEN it is discovered by your parents - one of two things will happen. They will either force you to return it to the pet shop or wherever you got it from - or - (much worse) they may kill it - which is cruel to the snake - and will be your fault !

Remember - your parents pay the bills in your house - you have to abide by their rules ! If they refuse to allow you to keep a snake in their house - that's their decision - you have to abide by it !
