Going to college

SeaStar427 Jul 13, 2003 09:43 PM

Hey everybody! Okay, so I currently have a young yellow-bellied slider in a thirty gallon tank, and a juvenile normal corn snake in a ten gallon. They live in my room while my Eastern box turtle lives outside in it's own pen. However, I am going to college next year, and I don't know what to do about my pets. Does anybody know if you are allowed to keep reptiles in your dorm room, or if you can only have like one small tank or something. I live in Virginia, so I would be going to a college like VA Tech/Mary Washington/William and Mary, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Caroline

If it's not allowed, you can always sneak in a small reptile. You can probably manage your corn snake in your 30 gallon tank. It kind of depends on whether your roommates cool with it or not. One of my cousins managed to sneak in a small bird and keep it throughout her college years. She had to bribe her roommate though.
