I meant also to mention that you should probably attach a cover letter to your list explaining that you do not keep dangerous species and that there are no public health or safety concerns that will ever come up as a result of you keeping them. The one animal you have the public may be most concerned about is you Red tail boa but even at full size that species will not be a threat to the public. Explain how you care for them, their temperaments, and any additional security measures you are willing to put in place to ensure you don't have any escapees if that means easing people's minds. If they are open to it, you might even try inviting some of these people over to meet one or two of your animals so they can see that you are a responsible keeper and that your animals will not attack their children. Sometimes it's difficult not to sound condescending or arrogant when pointing stuff like this out but it may be worth mentioning that a bigger threat is that St. Bernard across the street! Just make sure everything you write down is nice and professional.
