Not sure if this is the right section, but....

I'm moving out of apartment complex and into a yet-to-be-determined complex in two months. My roommate and I are looking at different options here in Tampa, FL.

I hear the rumors that most complexes won't allow snakes and such. For those of you out there with snakes living in apartments that don't explicitly allow snakes or that explicitly say they don't allow snakes...what worked for you to get over/around/through that issue... Either by negotiation/explanation of the animal/etc...
