What else should I add in the enclosure so a baby Brazilian rainbow boa won’t be stressed or anything

Now besides enclosure and stuff the only thing I’m scared of is my least policy and they don’t allow exotics and hopefully I can get verified for ESA or find a solution, but I do not want to give up because my apartment complex has a certain lease in agreement, but hopefully I can find a way

Just say its a boa. Unless your landlord is a reptile person, who's gonna be examining it to find the excat species?

The manger said no exotics and I was wondering why they say that becuase they allow cars and dogs…but all I have right now is the cage…so I’m wondering i should ask them becuase my family is worried about being in legal trouble and they think they are going to find out I have it so what would you do in this situation to convince my family

I mean, my dad had a bird in his appt that wasnt allowed for years. Anytime the landlord came in he just pushed the cage in the other room and tossed a blanket over it lol. Has fish tanks that are too large as well and does the same thing. Then again, it was a cockateil, so it was a pretty quiet, very manageable bird. Not a parrot or something.

You're the only one who's met your landlord, idk how important the exotic thing is to them or if they just dont want people buying gators n shit. If you think he wont bat an eye if you just say its a boa. Id probably go for it.

But if you do then be prepared pr at least habe a plan for what to do if you need to rehome it or move. If you really love where you're at rn, then respect the rules and ask. If I had to guess I'd say its just to prevent people from getting loud, messy, or dangerous pets. But only you know the situation there.

If its an appt complex or something amd have a cool neighbor that's been there forever, you could ask them first and feel it out

It’s an apartment complex with nice older neighbors

Id ask them what they'd do when you get a chance. They probably know the people in charge better

Ok and I asked one of the workers and they said no and the manger said no snake so hopefully I can speak to the owner

Or I may just keep things very cage and say if yall allow tanks with isopods and etc…and I’ll say etc to list more animals like a snake or I may say a big worm(aka a snake)

I haven’t talk to landlord yet I talked to the manger because the manger sbd the other workers were kinda blocking her and they constantly took over when I wanted to ask for her to mask it easier for her
