Hello everyone!
So this is a tricky situation, I know some of you will harp on me to use the search engine. I already have and did not find the answer I'm looking for.
My fiancée and I have a complex situation. We've been keeping and breeding ball pythons for years, started out in our apartment had them there for 2 years with no problems until there was an inspection on the vents in the apartments. The landlords gave me a call and just questioned me about our animals and simply said you have a week to get them out. No problem, my argument was that we had Crested Gecko's on our lease and they said that wasn't a problem. With that being said they didn't make a big deal about it. Since that day, my animals have been kept at my fathers house, we moved them about 9 months ago.
Here's the dilemma, we are moving 200 miles away next week. Which is 180 miles away from where we keep our animals. While applying for the duplex we will be moving into next week we told them we had a miniature wiener dog and several crested geckos. No problems, pay your pet deposit and no big deal. We left out the snakes in fear of not getting accepted as we need a place to live and it is perfect.
So, for those of you in this situation, we have currently 40 ball pythons and 25 crested and one obnoxious wiener dog. WE had over 100 earlier this summer with the 60 we hatched out, sold most of everything and thinned it out. What would you do? The same thing we did in the apartment? Or approach our landlord with info about the snakes and hope they will allow them? ''
Any other ideas/suggestions?
The town allows constrictors under 6 feet without a permit so that isn't a problem.
