I did 5 of 6 of those things in my one semester at college. So... I got 17% on your righteous test.

The OP isn't attending university in Unicorn Land, but in a place that doesnt allow snakes.

OP: see if your school has a herpetology club/something similar. Maybe one of the upperclassmen living off campus would be willing to house your snake for the first year or so. If your university isn't very far away, you could make it a commitment to get home every two weeks (minimum) to feed your snake, as long as your parents will keep an eye on humidity/temperature.

Rehoming is NOT a bad option, and may be worth considering. If so, i'd start looking for responsible takers now, so you have time to stay updated before school starts.

A better society would just punish the individuals not everyone. Oh well forget it

This society is the one you currently live in. Don't like? You can leave.

To the "lawmakers can suck it" comment, all I have to say is you clearly have a problem with "the man" or the "system" and you also clearly don't know how to play the "system" or "the man" to your advantage. When you grow up, maybe you will.

Everyone knows that kids go to college to follow all the rules!
Get off your high horses, you all break the law some how. I wasn't encouraging her to do it, but the same time I highly doubt they will permanently kick her out of the university when they usually just give students who do much worse a slap on the wrist or an F in a course or something.

I guess I'm just a rebel without a cause, I've rolled through a few stop signs in my day.

I agree with you. College students do much worse than sneaking a bp into a dorm room. I had my leopard gecko with me all last semester. And I've kept hamsters with me in my dorm rooms my whole college career.

I'm not saying that you should sneak him, I'm just saying that it is possible.

Oh I would if I could

Wow! Rebelliousness coupled with ignorance? Who would've thought? You really need to rethink your life. As it seems really sad and depressing. I think a good psychiatrist could help you.

Speak for yourself.....

WOW your all missing the obvious answer to the problem. All you have to do is cook the snake and eat it. You get a nice taste meal and your snake can stay with you. Well until you crap it out. lol

I know this sound stupid and immature but hey so doesn't this whole thread.

Actually this was just as entertaining as the thread in general.

There is only 2 obvious things going on here.
1) read my previous post and do it.
2) everyone else stop trying to display your "coolness" and take this thread into some "cooler than you" contest.
Lets just try to let the op know loosing the snake to a good home is not a sad option because the snake will be fine and school is to important to muck with vicariously through other people. Stop telling this person what you would do and support them to do the right thing. What happens over thenext 5years for the op will determine the rest of their life . Why even risk giving bad advice based on poor judgements and having a good time? Go to school. Get your degree. Then worry about having snakes.
Again this is so cut and dry. All other argument is null and void.

Well said Terra

The right thing cannot be determined by anyone here other than the OP. Having options is one thing and in the end there may be other factors present we cannot take into account. It's better to have more choices to think about as opposed to having morality dictated towards someone. It's all subjective.
