Pets

I have three pet rats in my house, one is mine, ones my sisters and the other is my mothers, they're all female and have separate cages. Recently I've started to get over my fear of snakes and really want to own an opal motley corn snake I saw at the pet store but can't get it due to two things; one, my step dad was adamant I couldn't have one (and tried saying he's not scared of them, despite the fact he obviously is) and two, going to university with rat will be hard enough but with a snake as well talk about hard and not just looking after them but also sneaking them by uni officials. Hopefully I shall get one when it is more suitable for my life. Thats a picture of my rat Tidje pronounced tidge.
