How do i convince my parents to let me put my T in my room?

[Dominationts]

I already say a tons of things but my parents always didnt care about my word.
They seem to hate tarantula even if i say a lot of things about tarantula that i think my parents will understand but as i said they seem to didnt care at all
I mean its my own room and i can almost assure that i can keep tarantula safely because im not a child anymore

And the most important thing is my home is all noisy right now because it is being renovated, and the most ideal place that i can think of to keep my tarantula is my room. But.... my parents didnt allow it

Why won't they allow it? Tell them it's for the tarantulas safety and well-being.

At the end of the day, it's their house and their rules. Sit them down and respectfully tell them your opinion on why the tarantula should be housed in your room.

They didnt tell the reason they just said put it outside your room. And when i said why they always said "or i will throw away your tarantula"

That's not nice of them. I know parents from Asian countries could be very strict, and not like most American parents. I don't see the big deal in keeping your pet in your room, especially if it's temporary.

They won't hear your opinion on the matter at all? Could you ask them to elaborate why or will you get in trouble?

Yes, at all like LITERALLY. But i will try to ask them

I'm not sure how old you are but maybe take them to lunch and politely discuss the matter.

What species is it by the way?

I'm in senior highschool right now and my T is G. pulchripes and Nhandu tripepii
And i also have P. metallica, but.. its rather a shared pet with my cousin (the P. metallica is at my cousin house)
But no matter the species is my parents will think that every tarantula=danger

I say a lot of time to them that my T's that i keep is a low venom species (other than the P. metallica, but its on my cousin house and as i said its a shared pet. And i rarely come to my cousin house)

Sorry i mistakenly double replied

 

[Ratmosphere]

So do you think they are nervous that the T could get out and harm you? Could that be their main concern?

You could explain that not all tarantulas are the same, and many have venom that is low in potency. Maybe bring up some articles and put together some kind of presentation on it haha.

Some people just dont like spiders. You won't convince everyone.
They have allowed you to own a tarantula, so you have to be grateful for that. Maybe they worry you will let it out, or it will escape if they can't keep an eye on it/you.
I've had 3 escape now (all recovered) so it does happen.

The only way you will win them around is by proving you are a responsible owner, and given time they may come around.
Or talk to them about a compromise, is there somewhere else in the house that might also be suitable, that they will be happy with.

Thanks for the suggestions y'all. I will try to give my parents time to understand and i will help by explaining more about tarantulas

Since you are in Indonesia, you can photograph and observe wild tarantulas. Show these photos to your parents. See if you can keep one outside in shade.

It sounds like OP has tarantulas already that are housed somewhere inside, they just aren't allowed in their room.

I'd stop trying to convince them. Your parents sound like ****s, so you're lucky they're letting you keep the tarantula in the house at all. If they're so unreasonable that they actually make threats that they will "throw away your tarantula," no amount of convincing is going to budge them. Just play by their rules for the next year. You're a senior in high school, so very soon you'll be moving out and you can keep your T wherever you want. Good luck, man.

I'd not listen to this^ guy, hahaha.
