just a little down...

[GeckoStud]

Just to clarify something a little. Her "little dorm" is actually one of the bigger suits, two rooms a bathroom etc. Her roommate hardly if ever enters the bedroom except to get to the bathroom. Its like Em said to, she never handles them in front of her and none of them are in plain site, so her roommate never has to see or deal with them. From personal expirience I can definitely say her roommate recieves much more respect than she gives out. But again its all taken into consideration, respect should be given both ways. I think the roomate will adjust with time, and most likely forget the animals are there until they are brought up in conversation or something.

As far as getting ejected, no... They tell you to get rid of the animals and possibly fine you. There is absolutely no way that a college that you are throwing all that money at is going to eject you for keeping a few small lizards that cause no damage whatsoever. On the college's part it wouldn't be a wise investment. Lose 40k for some lizards in one dorm room that they didn't and wouldn't know exist unless some one ratted them out. Doesn't make sense to me... Fine yeah, ejection definitely not, same is said for my college, and even there the fines are more of a scare tactic.

I'd be worried that your room mate will report you to the managers of the student housing.. I lived in residence last year and someone got caught with a hamster and it was either a fine and remove the animal, or you got kicked out. They DO have the right to evict you for it if you signed a contract agreeing to the rules of the dorm, and one of the rules was no pets.

my roomate my not like that they are there until she gets used to them but i no for a fact that she would never rat me out. we are still best friends even though we but heads a bit. and i no that at my college that wont throw you out for a first time offense for something like this...how do i know this...my friend is a resident assistant for another building and has been for years. he said all they will do is tell you to get rid of them which is not a problem for me because i only live 30 min away and my boyfriend's parents would come get them if ever i needed them to.

Bust your roomate in the head.

For some reason I think this wouldn't be a good idea to do to someone you live with!

Humor aside (I was jesting but I was also assuming Blacksupra was as well), I hope you can get that worked out with your roommate. Before your move into an apartment you want to check to make sure that they allow exotics - many don't, not even leos! Many won't tell you up front (because to most people, pets mean cats or dogs) so make sure you ASK or are able to keep them concealed very well. :main_robin:

If you don't like Leos, you must be INSANE!!! They're AWESOME!!!
