Anyone else get crazy excuses from apartments?

I know this isn't the most popular answer but I haven't told my landlords. I even converted my walk in closet into a snake room, that way if they need to come over I can close the door. I've Been here over 3 years with no issue. We all know how quiet snakes are and they don't fill the apartment with smells if maintained right. The only thing I have to be careful with is walking in with a 32 quart tub full of rats every so often when I decide to treat them to live food. I'm sure that would freak some neighbors out a bit

Just last week someone had an ad on Craigslist selling 11 adult ball pythons and all the equipment for $600 because the landlord found out about the snakes. The ad was up for less than a week. I don't know if the person sold them or had to give them away. Sneaking animals into a rental is a very poor idea. You can't care for your animals if you're out on the street yourself. If you can't house them honestly, you may need to wait until you're in a position where you can do so before owning them. It's one of those things you need to be sure about before getting an animal, just like you need to be sure you can afford its food and health care.

That stinks! I guess it just depends on the individual landlord/apartment manager. :s

At my previous apartment, the apartment manager was fortunately okay with snakes. I actually lied to her originally and told her I had lizards. But she somehow knew it was snakes, and told my roommate to tell me that "snakes are totally fine". LOL...

The only thing you can do it keep looking and keep asking, to find an apartment manager who is fine with snakes.

Honestly I do have backup scenarios for if that day does happen. I have plenty of family nearby and a loving fiance that will support me and my hobbies to the end should anything happen. This was the best scenario for us and the apartment we have is great. It's been 3 years and our landlord has been here maybe twice and has never even shown any interest in looking around. I can't see my landlord demanding to look through the closets.

I guess that being said, it depends on the situation.
