Maybe wait until you are a grown up and have your own place (im presuming you live with parents and are of a young age?) and a job and can fund your hobby and not have to ask permission.

So where did the other snakes go to?

Wondering this myself...

Your young, do you know what you are going to be doing with life in x amount of years time, uni, ect, perhaps thats why your parents said no.

my first king snake we were ment to have for 2 weeks while this guy went on holiday we ended up keeping it for three year,then he took it back,my second king,escaped and fell of our 5 foot bunker,it was only there while i was moving my room around,and it was big enough to be moved into the new 4ft tank,but it pushed the vent threw as i had it on the wrong way,and it had fallen and died,and my first corn was a sub adult and was vicous,i tried for help for it,and handled it but never got better,then i put up on gumtree for anyone to help out,and someone came and bought it then i got a corn snake from reptile shack in arbraoth but it wouldnt eat,its not that am incapable of looking after them as i have had a snake since i was 4,im 15,my uncle loves snakes,so it wouldnt be a problem if i was going on holiday or so,will carry on with my vivarium build as they are thinking about it.

personally i would wait to get another snake, you dont seem to have the best of luck with them. they can live for 15+ years. maybe you should wait until you know where your life is heading before embarking in a long term pet.i got mine in december and my circumstance have changed and i am having to rehome half my animals.
