I have recently aquired 57 snakes In a year ( 1 Burmese, 6 boas, 2 carpets, 1 cal king, 2 corns, and 45 balls) anyways my ex wife is not wanting me to have my son now because of my collection because of her fear and when I do have him he tells me he's not scared and wants to hold his certain one and let's her around his neck and shows her to his friends when he has friends over and has got me to show them at his school. She says he is scared of them but just will not say anything and has nightmares about them but when I asked him he says otherwise. The divorce papers say I get him every other weekend and she says that if he is scared I'm not making him go but in Tennessee a child isn't old enough to make his own decisions but if he has nightmares about them and then there is grounds for my rightsit to to be removed but he tells me he likes all of them except the Burmese But doesn't have nightmares about it . So what I was wanting to know if anyone else has been in this situation and what actions should I do. I thought about getting dcs to inspect everything and give me a statement saying there is no reason that he should be removed, and getting the health dept and a vet to state they are in clean health and in suitable living conditions and show it to the judge. I don't want to loose my son that's a definite but there again I don't want to get rid of what I have aquired.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
