. But now I've caught the reptile bug and want to buy a BTS. But I have one little problem. Parents. I have enough space in my room for a 40 gallon breeder sized tank and certainly can take care of another animal.I have the responsbilty and grade thing nailed. I just need to convince my parents to let me keep another reptile. Any ideas? I'm thinking something along the lines of "Hey mom/dad I was wondering if maybe I could get another lizard? The kind I have in mind would only get about as big as a bearded dragon and their just as nice too. etc." the bearded dragon if for scale refercnce because they've seen and held them before because my friend has 4 on top of a chamelion and a kingsnake.Please help.
Thanks
). I think they will say yes even faster if you've saved up most or all of the costs involved.. that's always a good sign of one of my "young adults" continuously being responsible for their decisions.
. He tends to be supportive because I am the sole caregiver of all our animals and he knows I never overcommit because rehoming would be too traumatic. I also am excessive in my research and I commend you for that---I can't understand who would commit to ownership for an animal whose needs they don't understand! 
My bluey is my son's pet but he does not take too much responsibility for him. I think we'll work on that this summer. I could threaten to get rid of the BT but he knows I could NEVER do that as I am quite smitten!
