I've never understood why people feel the need to correct spelling/grammar when it's obvious what someone was trying to say. It doesn't clear anything up (since I'm pretty sure no one thought we were talking about collages) and just ticks people off.

I'm glad OP got permission to get a snake, because the advice to just go get one without the parents' permission was just completely inappropriate. Luckily it worked out for the person who did it without any harm coming to the snakes, but you don't know the OP's situation or how their parents would react. That advice could cause a snake to be abandoned or killed depending on how the parents reacted.
