How can I hide my snakes in my dorm at college?
I really wasnt sure where to place this question but I have a sand boa, she is about 2 feet long and 4 years old. I also have a ball python, he is about 10 inches long and 4 months old. I can possibly part with my ball, but I cant be certain he would be treated with the utmost rspect in a new home, and I CANNOT part with my sand boa, she is my first snake and I watched her grow.
Did anyone have any experience with this? I am required to live in the dorms the first year and my reptiles are my stress outlet. I cant see myself parting without them. I know there are people that successfully done this. Also I will do my absolute best to successfully take care of them while in college. No meal will be missed, water always changed, and appropriate heat will be available. I will probably have to use a heat mat fir both and my ball is already on belly heat and he is always warm. Any tips?

By possibly doing this you are putting your animals at risk of being taken away from you. Please don't try and hide your animals. The risks really aren't fair to the snakes at all. Don't you have a friend or family that take care of them for you? Hiding an animal is never a smart idea, regardless of what species it is. Do yourself and your snakes a favor, don't do it.

I guess this was really frowned upon here, but I asked my sister if she was okay with taking care of them, and she seemed okay with it. But if needed, I"ll give my ball away to a responsible person and let my sister take care of my sand boa. I guess this is my plan until the next year where I can live in an apartment complex by the college.
