I dont know what to do.

This isn't the "right" thing to do, but..... When we moved to this apt. we just didn't say anything about the reptiles. She (the manager) only asked us if we had a cat or dog. We said no. She never used the word pet only cat or dog. Kind of a technacality but it worked. 4 years later, she know about them and is ok with it. She realized that there was no after affects (fleas,damage,noise) of her tennats keeping reptiles and now she allows them here. Just a thought. I hope your search goes well for you. Things will fall in place. Keep Positive!!

I agree. If you don't have any dangerous pets, just don't tell the landlord. I did that, but I let my neighbors know after a couple of months. One lady was a little freaked out, but after a short talk she was fine with it, too. Then I eventually called my landlord and said I bought a pet frog, and asked if that was ok. Once a couple of frogs was ok, I saw no reason why she would have a problem with a gecko or 2. I used this rationalization to evolve up - collared lizards, a cham, then corns, BPs, and a Macklott's. Everything was cool when we eventually invited our landlord in to see our "new additions".

If yuo do not tell your future landlord, please make sure that the herps are impeccably housed so that they can Not escape. This is a case in point: in the past month, Mark has found a total of three snakes in one of their vacated houses (he works as a property management firm to investor/landlords.) First off, they found a deceased BCI (roughly 6 feet of dead, reeking snake) behind a dresser.. then found a LIVE CORAL snake! (I plsted about that recently.) Then, unbelievably, last week they found a Second live coral snake!!! Again, they called Animal Control to get it.. he nor his guys were messing around with venom.
Escapee snakes, especially unknown-to-landlord ones, are one thing that can definately hurt our hobby.
