Replying to What kind of pet should i get for my apartment?

next school year, i'm living in an off campus apartment complex. me and two other guys are bouta get the standard stuff, sound system, tv, couches, kegerator, and a pong table.

so i was thinking about getting some kind of animal. we can't get a dog, its the only thing they won't let us have. i'd get a cat, but i'm allergic and i'm pretty sure it would die  due to lots of drunk idiots. i was thinking about putting a bird in my room in a big cage, but my friend thinks it will smell, so he doesn't really want it. we were going to get a huge fish tank, but we figure we'll break it and like 90 gallons of water in the room won't be fun to clean up. we might have settled on a lizard of some sorts. one of my friends had a chemeleon and i think we'll get one.

so what do you think NS, are chameleons boss enough for a college apartment? also, what other kinds of lizard type creatures would you be impressed if you went to a party and saw in this kids house. and no, i'm not getting a kamodo dragon. also, what tank size should we get? my brother can build pretty much any design and size. or i can get a 90 gallon cube for free. and have a 55, 30, and 20 in my basement (my brother loves fish).

we're open to suggestions.
