If I'm being real with you... I'd really say be honest. You definitely don't want any bad blood between you and your landlord. Having to move because he/she found out you lied would stink. Landlord could jack the price of rent after the current lease is up, not allow you to sign another lease, or simply evict you.
If a tenant of mine did that, and were honest, I'd likely let it slide, accidents happen. If I had a few spare tiles I'd just fix it and move on, appreciating your honesty.
If I found out the tenant lied, they'd be out the day the lease expired without getting the deposit back.
...but that's me. I've been a landlord in the past, as well as a tenant, so I see both sides.
As for thinking it'll cause ill will toward the hobby, I simply disagree. It wasn't animal problem, it was human error. Could have happened a million different ways not pertaining to pets. The animal did nothing, it was properly secured in the enclosure.
