What to do??

you might hope that your landlord doesnt stumble across this site, then he might find out, lol

Yikes! What a jerky landlord.
I would definately keep him under the bed in a sterilite/rubbermaid. Maybe even modify a dresser drawer.

We have our cat and snake in our apartment illegally as well. What we don't tell them won't hurt them. I agree try and keep it quite and hide them if you can. Good luck in all you do.

If nothing in the lease precludes keeping snakes, I would just tell my landowner that you will find a new apartment as soon as possible but until then, you are under no obligation to get rid of your snakes. Also, try to point out the positive attributes of snakes from a landlord's perspective; i.e. they don't smell or spray like cats and dogs, do not make any noise, etc...

I find that you can usually rationalize with people, as long as you're doing it from a perspective that they respect and understand.

I second that.

I think you would be right. Do not let the others know you have snakes.
I live in an apt also and in my lease it say NO Exotics. That pretty much covers everything.
And my property mgr is a, well you know a female dog. So I could at any moment have the same problem you face. They come in every May to so-called inspect the property and I was freaked out last month but they didn't say a word, so who knows. One time I was glad bp's always hide and sleep.
I was gonna do what everyone else suggested HIDE HIM if I have to so If I was you that's what I would do.
You know unless it's a emergency a landlord can not come into your apt without 24 hrs notice.
Not that helps now.
Hide jojo under the bed and put a bearded dragon in his tank and they shouldn't suspect a thing

I am so sorry you had to get rid of Coco. People suck sometimes.

I am definitely hiding Jojo I am not giving him away.

Glad to hear it. :)

Yes! Cool, make sure you hide him well!

If the landlord is coming to inspect and you're really worried about him finding Jojo, you can always take him to a willing friend's house just for that day and bring him back afterwards. But I'm sure you can just hide him somewhere. I doubt he'd actually look under the bed/in drawers etc. But I don't know your landlord. :wink:

Ok we had a breakthrough I took the manager to the place where i bought Jojo. The owner explained all the things that make owning a snake better then a mammal. The manager changed his mind when he held a ball python. So he said i can keep jojo along with the Veiled. Big weight off my shoulders.
