Tub setup questions...

[jsmorphs2]

BP?

I'm not going to give you my opinion on weather is right or wrong for someone to hide a pet from a parent...believe me, I've tried...pet rats..kittens..garter snakes...but they don't stay hidden for long. At most they stayed hidden for a few weeks... live and learn i guess : )

Anyway...I what I'm getting at is the most important thing is that the snake gets proper care. I would make sure the enclosure keeps the proper temps. and humidity as well as provides enough circulation before you bring her home. Lighting is not usually an issue with BPs. Also, be careful to check for drafts on the floor or near a window. Respiratory infections can set in quickly when their environment isn't to par not to mention the stress from moving.

Is there a better option for the snake?

this is indeed an interesting topic and I have tried every stunt but what worked the best is hiding them in plain sight

You are always so quick to give out advice and this time it's bad advice. Not about the tub, but about being a sneak and a cheat. How can you guarantee no one cares? You can only assume. Same for allergies. Other people have a right to know whether you think so or not.

Hope your school doesn't spray for bugs while you're in class.

hiding from parents is probally not the best thing, to personally insult another member is surely in the tos somewhere! you have no rights! once everyone figures that out then we can get on with regular order of business.

Thats really nice of you :/
The Residence advisor who lives across the hall from me has a cat. I think no one cares. If I get in trouble for it, that is my responsibility to deal with, not yours.
My school doesn't "spray for bugs". They don't enter the rooms except for inspection, which is once a year, and I am present for this inspection.

Please take your concern elsewhere.

my wife thought the same thing when she was at school then one day while she was at her moms for the weekend there was some water leak and they had to come in for a emergency repair and saw her hamster. it was not allowed so they went ahead and placed rat poison in its cage. she didnt like what they did but she was breaking the rules so what could she say no pets means no pets

I have the tub set up in my room now. I am measuring the temps and everything to make sure they are stable enough before she comes home. The room stays pretty warm and the door is always closed. The room is carpeted (I hope thats how you spell it). The room isnt drafty and the window has blinds and then fancy decorated curtains on it (thanks to my dad's girlfriend). I dont have to keep her under the bed really, just on the far side of my bed so she can not be seen from the door way. I dont think it is a big issue anyways since they never go in my room anyways.

One of my buddies goes to closing on his house this weekend. So I am gonna see once he settles in if I can keep the girl at his house til we buy our house and get moved in. The snake can NOT stay where she is at. I have to get her away from them before she ends up dead. I am also not a young teenager at all. I just ran into some money issues and ended back up with my dad. Things are on the rise, I am buying a house and moving back out.

I appreciate the concern and help from everyone. Thanks!

The rule here is, if they catch you with an animal, they confiscate it. They don't kill it. I don't leave my snakes alone, if I am gone for a few days, they either come with me or stay with a friend.
I am aware of the risk I am taking. It is my responsibility if the school takes action. I am not staying in the dorms permanently, I am moving in less than 2 months to my own apartment. I love my snakes, and if they were in any danger, I would have them stay with a friend of campus, but as of now, there is no danger. My dorm is not your typical dorm.

im pretty sure that is illegal even though she wasnt supposed to have pets
