Ok so I'm hoping you guys can help me out with how to get around this one. I have a plan that I can buy my final vivs for mo and tabs before June. Leaving two empty vivs really for Donny on 17th the money the vivs is coming from a huge load of stuff for car boot (making money and space)

However it is a well known fact that the OH has other ideas. Short of ditching the OH in favour for more snakes (I have thought about but nope he is staying). So the question is how do I get around OH?

Would he make me take them back? Humm not quite sure, he would be very tempted. And I would not hear the end of it for months. Think I'm going to sort the house so easily have the room. Work some female charm on him for a few monts and the bring some babies home any way

Thanks for the support guys

Do what my Fiancee does. 'I'm doing this!' Being a man he has no input or say so..... well that's how it is in my relationship :/..... Though after a month of talking about Boa's she caved into that..... reluctantly

Orr say 'You can't have *insert something he likes here... if you catch my drift* until I've got more snakes...... That'll give you about 30 seconds before he crumbles.....

??? Do people not talk to their partners these days lol. Compromise, if the money is yours and his then it should be used in a way you both benefit. Its not a lie or trick to explain your 2 snakes will be needing bigger vivariums as they grow, explain the costs involved and that you are only thinking of the 2 snakes you already have and their requirements. As for new snakes, save up.
