>>....rare species of reptile lately? Good luck. The fact is insurance companies cater to the majority not the minority. I work in the tattoo and piercing industry, we deal with the same problem. The shops and artists that are seen in every magazine, can afford the insurance. The ones that arent would be better off closing down than trying to. It is a risk we have to accept for being in a business main-stream America doesn't give a crap about. Cars have been modified and restored for decades, both by the big shops and the garage guys. Yet it was only in the last few years that companies finally started offering "Agreed Value" insurance so that the middle guys can afford to insure their vehicles. The "Big Guys" in this industry likely aren't pledging because they aren't aware or literally don't relate because they have insured animals. Its the middle of the road people who can relate, and its those people that have to afford the protection to our industry that insurance companies or law enforcement don't. Just my opinion, dave

chances are the premiums would be way too high if you have not made any return on the investment. It is sometimes a risk a small, new business has to take simply because the premiums are too high. Imagine how high a risk an insurance company is going to consider a business dealing with exotic snakes, especially since 99% of them have done no research on stats or what it costs to make a dollar insuring such a risk. The premiums would be overly high simply becuase the insurance co's haven't done the necessary research.
