Well, so far I have only been asking if they allow small caged pets. First thing they ask is what kind. Typically I will say a small harmless reptile. And so far every time they want to know what kind. Our favorite apartment so far said yes to gecko's but absolutely no snakes. And this seems to be the general answer we have been hearing. Where we live and need to live we really do not have a lot of options in our price range. There are only like 8 apartment complex's we can stay in. So far 5/8 have said no snakes, and i'm not sure if its in their lease or just the office lady's scared to death of them.
However, I have only asked over the phone and have not given them my name, so if we have to sneak him in they will not question why we don't have the snake now.
And I don't keep him in anything small he has a full T8 to himself. (he's a year old and eats like a beast)
