I'm in an apartment right now with a single rack of snakes, 3 ferrets, and 3:12 rat colony. I only asked management about the ferrets initially because they're more obvious to visitors. The snake rack I have is custom built to match my furniture, so you can't really tell they're there anyway.
In the end, management said only cats and dogs need a pet deposit and all caged animals are welcome and have no requirements. That sealed the deal for me.
Just ask if caged pets are ok with your new place. If they are uncomfortable with snakes or if you are uncomfortable telling, just say you're 'thinking about' getting something. Just as long they are ok with caged animals.
