In need of any information regarding keeping ball pythons in PA. A recent decision by a family court judge ordered the removal of my collection of roughly 10-12 ball pythons at the request of my fiancés ex-husband. In his request he stated that my collection is a safety concern to his (2) children living in our home. All of my snakes are now being kept in our basement and away from actual living quarters, I left a message for the judge explaining to her that these animals are ALL captive bred and none are wild caught animals and pose little to no threat to the safety of the children, including my own daughter who is 10. My daughter and I have been keeping snakes of all kinds since she was 2-3 years old and there have not been any problems concerning safety or health problems. I'm in search of any info on my rights going forward either in fighting the decision on my own or through an attorney. I thank you for any and all help with this matter ASAP as I'm not sure how long I have to respond or abide to this unfortunate decision.
