I feel so bad, always posting about my problems. Maybe sometime I will have something useful to post. Everyone here has always been so helpful. But on to the latest snag in my life.

So, we have a rack of ten snakes, adopted after our landlord said we couldn't have another dog. She listed the reasons as needing to keep the place free from mess and barking. So when we got our first python we thought, no barking, no mess. Addicted beyond reason, we spiraled to our rack of ten. Our roommate has a corn snake and the landlord had never said anything about it, so we figured no problems.
But we were looking at our lease the other day and noticed a clause about needing to notify her about any cage bound pets (if we didn't - huge fine). So we e-mailed tentatively, telling her we were considering getting a reptile, to which she immediatley replied "That's fine. No snakes." Poo.
So now we have to come up with some elaborate system to hide our less than subtle homemade rack. Don't want to be evicted, and no WAY I am giving up my babies. We plan on looking for a more reptile friendly place when our lease is up, but that's months away. So we've started hatching a plan.
We covered the sides of the wooden rack with a tapestry and taped paper around the front of the tubs with labels like "Winter Hats." The only issue is if you look really hard at it, you can see the water dish and maybe even the kids if they poked around the sides. But any more paper and it starts to look really suspicious.
We have moved to the idea of opaque tubs with holes drilled in the sides and then putting a rope light around the rack (we'd just look like white trash college kids to her then). That would eliminate the off chance that anyone would see them at an angle. But, we were concerned that they wouldn't have enough light to really establish a good night/day cycle. But then again, they live the days out in rat burrows in the wild, so I'm stumped. Would it be enough light to properly house them?

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.
(Sorry I'm so long winded. Just frustrated)
