I have to agree with this in some respects. I had a major move that I had to make a few years back. It did not state in my new lease that I could have not snakes but could have my cat and dog. However, I checked with my landlord about the snakes and was told that they were not allowed to come with me so I decided to do the right thing and rehome them. I am not saying you have to rehome your snakes but please do check to see if you can move them in with you or not.
My animals are also family to me but I did what I had to do and life still goes on. Now, I live in an a new house and because I checked with my landlord before moving in he is totally cool with me having snakes. Pit is right about one thing, there is so much negative propaganda about snakes already that it does not make sense to draw anymore negative attention to these magnificent creatures.
