They missed the smell because as I saw them making their way down the hall I ran and febreezed the heck out of it. Then so they didn't hear the random claws I threw on an old Everclear CD, and cranked the CD like it was just released. Long story short the RD even walked over to it glanced and then kept talking to me about how the snakes had to go. lol

I don't think they have a number limit. I'm guessing he thinks all of the tubs are full in the black snake rack.(in the picture above) That is the only way I can understand why he suddenly doesn't want them here after having most of them for this entire school year.
