I'm looking at getting into a new place and the owners are concerned about liability issues with me keeping my burms. I've tried to re-assure them but they are asking me to look for insurance for them. Anyone every heard of Snake Liability Insurance?? If so Where could I get it?? Thanks

As far as I know there's not a specific "snake liability" insurance plan available. You should be able to find something in the line of "pet liability" or "potentially dangerous animal liability."

I would look for another place instead. If they're already uneasy about your pets, regardless of what you say/do, or the type of insurance you get, odds are that one day they're gonna tell you it's time for you to leave. Keep looking.

Hang in there!

Yes. It is pet liability insurance. I have researched this some. Found a place in Florida that would provide it. They cover various animals including pit bulls and exotics. Not really a cheap thing. It's disappointing to know that regular insurance companies want to tell you what you can and can't have as far as pets and such. That's how the specialized insurance has come about. People used to [bleep] about lawyers being the worst thing for us when in truth it is the insurance companies. Who are they to tell us what animals we may keep? Finding another place is an option. I would suggest that. I would also make absolutely sure that my animals were fully secured and could not escape at all. It's sad that we live in a time when everyone wants to be in everyone elses business and try to police what others do on a daily basis, from how to raise your kids to how you make a living or what hobby you have. It's almost like living with the Gestapo. What happened to life liberty and the persuit of happiness?
