I had a bunch of college roomates who were biology majors and they kept snakes, salamanders, etc. Lemme tell ya, the smells that emanated from those critters' abodes was NAUSEATING, 30 years later I can recall that smell exactly.

A few years back I had a neighbor, another biologist, natch. He kept several snakes, the odd salamander, etc. He had a FILTHY 50 - gallon aquariam. Not only did his place smell, but his filthy habits attracted roaches. He also had three cats who ate wet food and that was an additional "problem". He finally moved after I called the management company and threatened to "take action" regard his House of Filth housekeeping habits...
I said to him, "Just so you know, most people do NOT consider vermin 'pets' or 'just another one of God's creatures'...".

Maybe I was just unlucky and hit the filth "jackpot", but biologists I've run into have a very poor conception of "cleanliness" -- and this extends to their personal hygiene too.
Keeping animals in such dire conditions is IMNSHO a form of animal abuse, in their natural states these creatures keep themselves clean (at least by their standards)...all of these biologist types couldn't understand that I guess.
Good for you, Om. Wish more had yer attitude -- my congested Chicawgo nabe is now chock - full of canines -- and also their cretin owners who care not a wit about cleaning up after their pets. It REALLY detracts from the quality of urban living...
IMNSHO no one should have a dog unless they have a yard of some kind to keep it in...apartment dogs should be banned entirely (unless they are guide animals).
