Was no problem at all. Of course, at the time, the rental market was booming and owners had difficulty getting renters, so that may have had something to do with it. |

| | | Hay peterescue, Sounds like you have a fairly decent agent who worked out your neighbours are pretty w***y so that is in your favour particularly because she rang and gave you a heads
up rather than an official warning. Your neighbours could do with a bit of a mind mess, rock up on their door and really sorrowfully explain you have have a huge,not so friendly snake get our and the last you saw it was heading inside their house  but that would be very irresponsible people :wink: . With some people you can never win and more so if you keep reptiles because these people must think your animals must sit in their enclosures just dreaming of the ways to escape, hook it over their fence and make their life misery in some way. :roll:

On the bright side, the neighbors have stopped complaining about the smell of the rats. |

| | Suspended | Join Date: Feb-04 Location: Sydney | | | | I dont really know the owner but I got him to sign a letter of agreement to allow me to keep reptiles at the property after reading other peoples problems on this and other lists. It didnt hurt being the chairman of a wildlife rescue organisation.

Firstly I would go down the local shopping centre and buy mysely several of the largets rubber snakes I could find, I would strategically place them around my yard so the neighbours could see them, BUT NOT to close so they can tell they aren't real. (maybe even hook one up with some fishing line) and each night I would move them around the yard and let them call and complain so that when you get a visit you can say "Yes Officer there is snakes in my backyard" and then take them out and show them. That would make them look like the fools they obviously are. CHEERS |
