I am very thankful that they have continued to care for him while I was away. The only reason they did it is because they knew how much he meant to me. They are not attached to him. My mom thinks he looks like a "turd" and always makes comments about him having a sad life because he lives in a cage (tank). I'm not sure what my dad thinks. I doubt he is attached though.

Does anyone else get that comment? That your reptiles have a "sad" life because they live their life in a tank? My bf thinks that as well.

When I continue my apartment shopping I will surely ask about their policy on reptiles.
Question: Should I specifically use the term "snake"? I'm worried that will scare them right off the bat.

I really do appreciate everyone's advice. My parents think I have wishful thinking. I am just frustrated that I may not be able to take my snake with me because he is seen as a viscous reptile that would kill a human (despite the fact that he has never struck a human since I've had him nor weighs even 5 lbs). -.-
