this is word for word what my lease says
"Pets are not permitted in or about the apartment, except for animals assisting disabled or handicapped person and fish in an aquarium that can be no larger than 10 gallons."

My thing is, they use the word "pet" only. And the official definition of pet as from dictionary.com is: "any domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately.

My snakes and dragon are neither tame or domesticated, and none are companions. And I do not care for them "affectionately".
