Having said all that, I should point out that even though you are 20, you've made the choice to remain with your parents for now - whether or not you feel like you had the choice. As such, you should respect your parents' wishes and only get a snake if your parents completely agree - it IS their home. I know its hard to wait for something you really want, but sometimes its the right thing to do - for both you and the snake.
Thanks for the information it's really helped! I would never get a pet without my parents full approval. I am just trying to see whether or not it's worth getting due to the electricity. It's sounding like it won't be bad though. I mean a couple dollars added is nothing.
