Do I have to say bye-bye to my Ball Python?? :-(

[rabernet]

Is it a salmonella issue? Perhaps fearing that she'll transmit salmonella to the residents?

My mom works at a home but doesnt live there, I keep all my snakes at the house and she has no problems with it and her boss knows about all my snakes and still has no problem.

In this state you can not be licensed as a certified day care center if you have reptiles. Everything else is pretty much OK, but not amphibians or Reptiles.

Subp. 12.
Pets.

All pets housed within the residence shall be maintained in good health and limited to dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, hamsters, rats, mice, and birds if the birds are clear of chlamydia psittaci. The provider shall ensure that:
A.

parents are notified prior to admission of the presence of pets in the residence;
B.

children handle animals only with supervision;
C.

rabies shots and tags are current for all dogs and cats;
D.

pet cages are located and cleaned away from any food preparation, storage, or serving areas;
E.

play areas are free of animal excrement not confined to pet cages;
F.

parents of a child whose skin is broken by an animal bite or scratch, are notified of the injury on the day the injury occurs; and

I don't know why they do it like that. It makes no sense, but the fact remains that you can't be licensed if you own reptiles. You can still run a day care center, but it would be an unlicensed facility. Perhaps elderly care is the same?

I would request that mom 1 shows it in the paper work about the snake, and 2 point out thatif the room is under a lock and key the snake would not be a threat since the room in question is kept locked and the person in question should not be in there anyhow.



ner mind I didn't read the rest of the posts .

Day care regs differ greatly from residential elderly care

If your mom says the snake has to go, and you live there... you kinda have to let it go to a new home.
If you live on your own, you can have whichever pets you want(as long as you don't have regulations there prohibiting pets).
I'd guess that reptile pets are prohibited due to salmonella, and because it's an exotic.

Yep, respect your mothers rules. Owning an animal is never more important than family.

I'm new to this forum and have a question. My mother owns a residential care for the elderly and she said I couldn't have my snake because it's against regulations for her to have a snake. I've been looking through the internet and I don't see any pet type regulations. anyways, does anyone know if it's all right or not to keep a python in a situation that your home is a business to take care of elders and they think that snakes post a problem regarding safety...?


thank you!!!

Do you have a snake already? Have you just moved from your father's house to your mother's or what? I just don't understand how you have the snake at all if your mom says you can't have it, so I'm sure there are some details missing...

I mentioned how I'm new to this place and I saw that you can just click on links to thank everyone but I don't see them :-(. Anyways, I just wanted to tell everyone for their input. Greatly appreciated!!! I ended up asking a friend if they didn't mind taking care of him for the time being, that my and my boyfriend would just go to her house every 4 days to feed it (since it's still a baby and all) and we'd pay $30/month for having the heating pad on all the time and I guess as a thanks.
Anyways, I live in an elderly care home owned by my mom. My dad doesn't live here since he got kicked out XD. Same as my brother and i was twice removed? Heh, but someone asked and I'm just answering a question.
I did respect her wishes even though we have like 6 dogs, we don't have a license to keep more than 4, and they don't have they're up-to-date shots :-(. And I've pretty much given up on telling my mom she needs to do these things. Another question was that people keep thinking it's going to grow into 20-ft. This is me and my boyfriend's first snake and we were really excited in having him. We named him Loki.
Anyways, I think that was it. THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE!!!

It is almost as simple as putting the tub (if in a tub) underneith your bed. Take her out when your mom is cleaning the elderly diapers.
