Apologize profusely, say you will sell it, then get someone you know to come and very obviously take a snake cage away. Then just keep the snake in a very secure cage, and make sure no one sees it.
If you have young kids, this won't work, because it will be impossible for them to keep such a secret, but otherwise that is what I'd do. A 16-inch snake isn't any threat, and won't make any noise.
Thank you canadianwoman.
Thats exactly what me and my wife just discussed today. We do have a 3 little girl and im pretty sure thats how they found out that we have a snake.
They made it pretty clrear, they want the snake out in a week or we pack out our stuffs and we decided not to take a chance, maybe, after the lease is over, we can look for a more private place like a house to rent and then we will try again with snakes, yeahh.
For now, i have till tuesday to get rid of it and try to get our money back or we are gonna have to donate it, either way, its leaving.
Thank you.
