I am a decent size breeder. I am not posting my name or location for obvious reasons.



Last night I got a knock on the door, to my surprise there stood a police officer. I asked him "how can I help?". He indicated he received notification from the city hall (someone was complaining) I was housing boas and rodents. I asked him if it was illegal, he said "no", but he need to come in and make sure everything was "ok". I told him absolutely not. He needed to get a warrant if he wanted to enter in my house. I neither confirmed nor denied I had snakes. I just told him everything I owned was legal and he was wasting his time. I gave him my name and nothing else, he then left.



Also, I might add, I have never allowed anyone in my house from the city in which I live. I also have never told neighbors about my hobby, it is none of their business. .....However, I have my house for sale. I have a surveillance camera, and after further review, this cop was the last person to come look at my house with a realtor. I kept the "boa room" locked with a note indicating it was off limits.



Before I moved here, I checked out the City Ordinances. We can have boas up to 6'. Also, there is no limit as far as how many you can have. Also, I keep the professional cages locked and clean at all times.



I am looking for feedback from anyone else who may have had a similar experience or advise.



Thank you for your response.
