Yes I called my attorney righte away and he said he can't do anything because they have a right to cancel it for anything they consider a risk in the home. Its part of the policy you sign when applying.
Remember snakes also include large pythons and venemous. The insurance companies are not going to get into distinctions of species with snakes or lizards.
According to the people who watch over the insurance companies practices said they are allowed to discriminate. It is very common these days that homeowners lose their policies due to certain types of dog breeds. People also get their policies rewvoked if they have several cars in their back yard and sell cars or something of that nature. Which I can understand is a increased risk for the insurance comapny because certian zoning laws are not followed. BUT a snake or gecko? Com'on!
It seems that the world has not caught up to the hobby. We are looked at as freaks. When I talked to the state commisioners office the rep was an older black man in his 50's. I told him my son had geckos...he looked at me puzzled and with raised eyebrows and asked "what is a gecko" I said its a lizard ... kinda like the commercials for GEICKO insurance ? He just looked at me like I was from mars. I knew I was in trouble when trying to just explain that one.
