Holy Crap...

Just go to a surplus store and buy a foot locker with a working lock. Store the whole tank in it when the campus gestapo comes over for their inspection. If they ask you to unlock it, tell them that it's private. If they insist, throw a big fit and scream about how they're violating your rights, thats always a big crown pleaser.

The only problem with this is that in dorms you sign a waiver saying that anything on the dorm property is open to search, especially if you sign a drug and alcohol contract, it means they have rights to search everything.

When i had my boa in my dorm we had a surprise inspection, where i just threw a towel over the tank and the RHD never saw it but my RA did and gave me a look. This is what i would suggest having been hiding animals in college in the past.

Take and bag your bp in a pillow case, then put him in the bottom/side of your laundry pile or in your laundry sack (sack allows the little guy to breath.) RA's like to look in boxes for drugs and such. so throw some socks and sheets ontop, light stuff.

you could always say it is a pet for a sibling like a present and that it will be gone by the weekend, my bro did that with a hedghog.and he got a warning.

good luck

i like the laundry pile idea! if you put some dirty socks and drawers on top? i'm pretty sure they won't search there! :D

Times have changed! We never had inspections when I was in a dorm, much less surprise ones!

WOW no inspections that would be nice. We have inspections once a quarter and they just show up whenever.

Yeah, this was in the late 80's at the University of NC - Chapel Hill. Man I miss those days!

Nice I wish we didn't have inspections, but I suppose with our schools reputation and just the times we live in the deem it necessary so oh well.

@rabernet
UNC eh? I'm here in Raleigh... more of a NCSU fan though. :P

Will you be there while there are room inspections? Why not hide snakie in your shirt, or around your neck while you have a hoody on to cover her, no one will be able to see :) G'luck! :)

We only have inspections once a semester in the Upperclassmen Apartments. They let us know a week ahead of time when they're going to be--so it's really no big deal to get stuff "out of the way" before they get here.

This semester it consisted of my RA and an RD coming in, looking around. They barely glanced into my room. He said: "You don't have any candles, do you?" I said: "Of course not!" and that was the long and short of it.

They're pretty laid back here at UMD.
