yeaht the frozen rats might make them some friends as they find he rodentas they unpack and the dead body smell would get a few cop calls in the city lol.

I think the problem is that many people are afraid of snakes because of the negative comments they've heard and bad stories they've heard involving snakes. Most people don't understand how great snakes can be since they are always thinking about snakes in a negative way. When people hear words like "constrictor", "boa", "python", or "boa constrictor", they automatically think "killer" because they know that pythons and boas can constrict and kill a person, but they don't know that pythons and boas don't always get to the 20-30 feet that they think they do. Also, when some people hear the word "snake" they would think "venomous" or "poisonous" which means that they think that snake has the potential to use its venom to kill them.

I think you should have a talk with your neighbors and try to inform them about your snakes, as well as other species too to let them know that all snakes are not considered venomous or killers and don't have the potential to kill.

The reason she called the cops is because she hates us she knew I had a snake day I got her but on day shes moving then she has a problem.

id fire colony of roaches and asf in her moving truck hypothetically

ALL pythons and boas are illegal here in San Francisco, but they generally don't bother private keepers - only retailers who sell them. When I got my first BP in Berkeley, they warned me about this stupid law. He said "don't make any enemies, because they could call animal control on you." :cool: They are legal in the surrounding counties, so if that happened I'd either move 5 miles away, or temporarily keep them at my mother's house (in Santa Clara county). Anyway, I'm sorry that happened to you! I've had nosy neighbors in the past, and they can be a real pain in the butt... try to keep the peace, though, because it's just not worth having a neighborly feud.

P.S. I love the cricket idea, LOL. :D
