Pet snakes are an appropriate type of pet which do not bark, do not spread rabies, or otherwise both neighbors. The vast majority are very docile and pose no threat to human life.

These snakes pose no risk to humans. Domesticated dogs are more dangerous than Andrew's snakes are.

If they are not big enough to eat a person or a dog, and are being kept safely and responsibly then it should not be a problem for anyone else.

Please educate yourself before you make laws about things that you have no clue about.

Snakes are amazing and with responsible owners never create a problem in the community. No reason to not be allowed to keep and care for.

Snakes are not dangerous if you are educated about them! It’s a shame these laws are outdated, and uneducated! No one should be able to take them away from you, especially if they serve as a helpful way to cope with anxiety and depression!! Good luck!!

Because my landlord refused to let me have my snakes because she "refuses to let poisonous creatures in her house"

I think that as long as people have proper education on these animals that there should be no reason they cant have any. Sometimes old laws need to be looked at and reassessed. Law makers should educate themselves about these animals and then mame proper changes in the law!

Please let him keep his animals , as a snake owner myself they to the people that have them in truly care for them it's no different then being forced to get rid of your dog or cat and it's not fair if necessary inspect his enclosures to ensure that they are properly secured and can't escape and as someone who has kept snakes for over 20 years I personally have never had any Escape or most importantly hurt anyone as a matter of fact my five year old daughter handles them please reconsider and let this man keep his babies
