Some bad news

I know what that's like. My recommendation would be to start apartment hunting a couple months before you have to next semester to ensure you find a place that will allow your pets. Then again, hiding them is always an option as well. Through my first year of college, I hid a 28 lb. Maine coon cat in my dorm room for the entire year because freshmen had to live in dorms and I wasn't going to leave my baby home. Also, once you find a good landlord/apartment where you can have your pets, renew for as long as you're going to be there. Makes it easier than moving every year.

In the meantime, get to know a good pet store nearby and possibly even volunteer at a shelter. Be sure to mention you have experience with reptiles because most shelters don't have people who are knowledgeable about them. They will be thankful for the help and you get to play with the animals. There may also be a herp club since a lot of college towns now have them.
