I WAS trying to breed FEEDER RATS for my Gopher snake; until I ran afoul of the Humane Society.

Apparently, the possession of over ten (10) animals, aggregate total, per household (or having any dead animals in the freezer - even if they are for snake food), is considered evidence of the FELONY crime of Animal Hoarding.

Ridiculous I know, but that is the way it is in my state. At least a half-dozen Animal Hoarders have been prosecuted (and found guilty) in my COUNTY alone in recent years. The only way to keep more than the maximum ten (10) animals is to obtain a very expensive animal shelter permit, which is rarely granted.
