I agree with that. My initial statement was on the supposition he would do as you asked because you are doing him a favor by letting him stay there. If he will not abide those rules, then I'd say no. If he is willing to keep it away from everyone then it's no big deal. Snakes really don't make any sound while eating, so you'd never hear that anyway.

I personally cannot think of one creature I would not allow someone to keep with them, while staying with me, if they were responsible and courteous about it. Though if they are not, I would not welcome the drama and trauma that might ensue.
