How do you get over being sad from losing a pet?

well im a mommy. not of a high school aged child but still.

now your mom proably in ehr head did this for a reason be it this is your final year of highschool your grades this eyar help determine if you go to college and such. or she did it as some sort of punishment bad grades not doing homework and wants you focused. i completely understand these issues.

but.....

maybe if these are the issues and reason or something close to these. maybe you can present to her that your love for your snake means so much enough that you will prove to her your "worthy" (meaning good grades and focus) of having your snake back.
give her a goal.. example hey mom if on my next 5 tests if i get high c's or b's can i have my snake back and i promise i will maintain my grades if one test or grade goes below high c's (just example) than take my snake away forever. moms eat this stuff up especially if you prove and continue to prove. than you get your snake back and you gain the respect from your mom that you actually set a goal and stuck with goal and maintained that goal.

now also as a mom if my baby (regardless of age, my children are always my little babies) had a 9 ft snake that was still growing. i would be very scared for my child no matter how good theya re with that snake and how many precautions they took. your still my baby with a 9 ft snake, thats scary for alot of moms. if this is the case well you might not have much of a shot. mommies are feirce scary animals when it comes to their children. plus your retic since only 4 -5 feet right now doesnt look like it is much threat yet in a mothers eye....

keep your chin up hunny all will work out just make a plan with your mom in a mature adult manner.

He won't be gone forever, he'll be back with me in December. She doesn't really care how big my snakes will get as long as I keep them caged up when guests are over :P maybe she wants me to focus for the first quarter in school.
