I figured that's what you meant. Knowing what little I know of you, I couldn't picture it any other way.

I think the fact that the OP is a college student speaks volumes of their relationship. I don't know where to go with this, but if a college student wants a snake, it's up to them to buy the snake and everything need to keep that snake. BUT if the parent doesn't want the snake in their house due to fear, you have to respect that and wait until you are out on your own.
Agreed 100%.
