How many snakes is too many snakes?

Snake Lab hit it on the head, Dorms suck, so live off campus. I'm getting my first snake when I finish this last semester of my freshman year in a few weeks. Next year I found an apartment complex that it is ok to keep snakes in and the apartments are quite large so I could definitely house snakes in it. I probably won't build up a huge collection while I'm at college because I wil have to bring the snakes back and forth for certain holiday breaks. But make sure if you bring your snakes to college that you can bring them home over the longer breaks.

yea but if you have a rack of snakes in your room your gonna have a problem...

I gave some kid some advice the other day - wanted to get a Sav - build an enclosure in his room. Until you have your own place I would really keep it way down...

Buy a rack and keep them in that. Live off campus or just keep them in your dorm room. Most schools just say pets are ok if they fit in a 10 gallon tank. A 28qt tub is technically under 10gallons. Most schools dont have special pet rules that say no snakes. Plus theres no way they would find out about them unless your roomate tells on you. So if you were worried about that you could just get a single room. Just get a black sheet and put it over your rack. If an RA ever does a room inspection they arent allowed to touch anything, you can only get busted for stuff thats in plain sight, so if somethings under a sheet they cant lift it up and look. And if all else fails and you get caught just remember: Its easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission ;)

Im currently 17 years old and graduating 2013. I have 24 snakes.

I am going to college but Im living in an apartment 3 minutes from campus so I can keep all my snakes lol. My older sister/friends/cousins also will go this college and we will most likely live together.

I wouldn't give up my snakes to move into a dorm, why not live off campus?

Some schools actually require freshman to live in the dorms. I know mine did before 2011. And after freshman year, they kick everyone out.
My school has a rule of no pets allowed except fish in the dorms. (And its ironic because we are the number one vet school in the country. Everyone wants pets!)

When the time comes, I would look into the student housing rules and regulations of your school.
If you want to just take your snake regardless of the rules, I too agree with putting your snake in a rack. To the average person, its just another storage cabinet.

I don't know what dorms y'all lived in but the ones I'm in are great! Co Ed as well so that's always a plus. But I keep both of my snakes in tubs and put them in a rack system inside my closet, so there really isn't any problem. Plus girls love guys with snakes so keep em.

Thanks a bunch folks, but from what I have been reading, the type of schools I am after (harvard, princeton, stanford, etc- gotta dream big) are lumped in the "10 gallon with fish only" category. Time to start saving for that apartment!
