Anyone keep (or have kept) secret pets

Hey, Every now and again you see a thread on here about people sneaking pets past landlord, parents, partners and into places like uni's halls.

I'm just curious how many people have done/do this?

also any funny stories or ingenious hiding places wouldnt go a miss lol

I am currently hiding 5 tarantulas, a leopard gecko and an argentine rainbow boa from my landlord. He only visits twice a year (student housing = once a semester).

Means mine all simply go into the wardrobe on morning of inspection and come out again when he's gone. Largest viv i have to hide is only 2ft mind. I think even covering them with blankets would work, not like he's actively looking for stuff.

Funny story - friends had house rabbit (which they shouldn't of had) but didnt recieve letter saying they had inspection due to postal strike a few years back. No one was in when landlord arrived so he let himself in. Walks into kitchen where this rabbit is which proceeds to hop up to his new shoes and take a great bite out of them. One of friends then comes back, finding him fuming and telling them to get rid of it.

When i was a kid, I kept rats in my wardrobe....and chicks once too! The chicks later went to a friends mum, the rats I managed to keep secret for a while, til my brother found them and let them loose.... not a good response from my mum I can tell you!

i have a couple of rainbow morphs that are hidden away. But only to people that visit my collection. Basically im the only one that knows they are there, and will be keeping it that way, until i get some babies on the ground

I am in uni halls and have two snakes, both young but my biggest viv is 2 foot, just means covering with clothes etc when inspections appear, although the majority of my flat mates dont know i have anything. One is a bit too girl and wud freak and probably inform the company the halls are with.

I had a pair of Sonaran Gopher Snakes while at Uni. It was a shared house and I didn't tell the landlord, but he visited unannounced one day and was totally cool about it, kept asking questions and was dead interested.

Unfortunately one of my fellow house mates was less than impressed when she found a plastic tub full of frozen mice in the freezer
