So my GF goes to the doctor and the doctor starts asking all kinds of questions and somehow my ball pythons come up in conversation, they talk some more and so on and so forth.well today I get a bomb dropped on me that the doctor consulted with DSS and the doctor IS filing a DSS case against us because we own "snakes" because we have a 1 yr old child and a 4 year old.so needless to say im very upset right now.has ANYONE ever been in a situation like this.I mean im going crazy right now my son is the only one who handles these snakes besides me and I waited until he was at least 2 to introduce him to them and I KEEEEEEEEEP his hands washed especially in that room.I have had snakes (all ball pythons) from b4 he was even born,and it was NEVER an issue until now.



so now I have put a lockable doorknob magnetic entry alarms on the door to the snake room, a bottom door rubber gasket,im even printing out the rodentpro literature about why dead rodents are better than live (no fecal or urine matter,less chance of contracting a hazardous disease) to have some kind of backup for this terrible situation plus I get all the rubber exam gloves that I need and I use them.My snake room is super clean i use all disposable water dishes and I keep germ-x everywhere in my house regardless. any other info would be SOOOOOOO HELPFULL
