My mom has said absolutely no to any snake bigger than a garter. Which is why I couldn't buy any corn snakes. Now my parents are getting old and they are getting ready to sign their house over to me...I'm thinking once the house is in my name, I might just have to get that corn snake...heh heh. If I brought a python in here or a tarantula...I think everyone would probably move out. They are my parents...so I do try to respect that they live here too.
