Pet snakes of Iowa

They need to come into the 21st century and not rely on old wives tales to base their laws on!!

Hope you win!!

Hope this helps my town only allows locals to count on my petition to allow for snakes so I lost because it a small close minded town good luck

This kind of prejudice against a house pet is ridiculous.

I fully agree with the statements made in this petition I fully support the right to own a non venomous constructors I've owned them for at least 10 years and they are amazing animals

Hope you get to keep them.. :/

Snakes are cage animals, kept indoors, unlike the dogs and cats that are allowed to roam freely

The people against this obviously have no understanding of the care, love and attention as well as expense and love we give them.

I have kept snakes over 40 years. And have preformed hundreds of educational displays and 1000's of hours in community outreach. And not experienced one animal related issue.

Most snakes make great pets for people with depression and anxiety

Snakes are just another kind of pet. These ordinances are unAmerican.

Snakes are amazing I own 2

I signed it.

I own 50 snakes of be damned if I let someone take my animals

please inform them that snakes have been linked to 18 deaths since 1970s, but dogs kill 35 people annually, horses 30, cats 8...reptiles pose very little threat to people and most are very docile.

The law needs to change.

I see no threat in keeping non-venomous snakes as pets. I am a non-venomous snake keeper myself and can attest that properly cared for non-venomous snakes are of no threat to their human counterparts.

Snakes are amazing intelligent animals

From one reptile owner to another, I hope this gets overturned and you get to keep your babies. Fingers crossed from the UK xxxx

Harmless snakes as pets can be great means of getting in touch with the natural world.
