i currently am planning on going to uni BU in september & have audhd and a pet snake, ive been reading up on pets in uni and none of them say anything about reptiles at all, even licensed animals or esa, BU, im just wondering if anyone has had any success in bringing a reptile as i feel i wont be able to do my best without him being with me as im his only carer in my house. reptiles overall aren't trouble as they have tanks dont pee or poop on the floors or scratch anything up, they dont smell or make any noise, plus im in a studio flat not shared accom im just so stuck i have no idea who to contact, and cannot find any information online. it would be help if anyone could point me in the correct direction to who i can contact or share similar stories? thanks

Hi @honeyshshssn - I'd recommend reaching out to the accommodation team on [email protected] who can help get you in touch with the accommodation providers. They can check what each of their rules are around pets.

Hope this helps!
