I just heard very recently about someone who was refused home insurance because they had a ball python,nothing else,just a ball python. Apparently some insurance companies are trying to dump some of their customers and I guess a snake is a good a reason as any. We all know how lethal ball pythons are,lol. A friend of mine rented a basement apartment in his brother's house and when the isurance co.found out about his herps,they freaked and wanted a higher premium and bars on all the windows,etc. He had some tegus,colubrids and a few copperheads. They backed off when he got rid of the copperheads,but it was a major hassle for a while.I heard that some insurance companies consider herps to be an "undisclosed fire hazard" or words to that effect. This appears to be another issue that herpers are going to have to deal with on,top of everything else. Whoever thought that pursuing an interest would get so complicated. Good Luck, Grant
