Very good advice!! I wouldn't recommend trying to hide it. We had a cat in our room and when we were living in off campus housing... Totally got busted. My roommate had to pay a huge fine and immediately arrange to have her cat taken home. I know cats are a bit more conspicuous than snakes, but trust me, they'll find out.

The girls across the hall freshman year tried to keep a turtle in the closet. That lasted about a week lol. Maybe you can go to a school that's close to home and commute? Or if you have someone who's near the school that can house your snake babies for you?

It's definitely a safer bet than having to scramble when you need to get rid of your snake, only to find that no one will take him in. Just my .02
