I'd have to find a place with no people I'd have to check into the laws for relocating non-venomous species. There are special rules for HOTS, not sure if the same goes for other snakes. I'll find out though.

sounds like your neighbor needs some education on which snakes are good & which are bad.
I don't even want them knowing I own snakes. I know this sounds like a good thing to do, but the last thing I want is them to think my boa will escape and eat their kids. I live in one of those neighborhoods where there is no HOA, but certain people in the community believe there is one. A fictional one that revolves around what they believe their standard of living is. If anyone strays from that view that they have in their head, you get talked about to everyone behind your back. I know because they would talk to me or my wife about the "degenerates" up the road or the neighbor that had the pit tied to the tree (behind MY house and THEY reported it...that's another thread). I was very offended. So I stopped listening to them. We have not talked in probably 2 years now.

Anyway, tldr; Don't want the neighborhood to live in fear because I have snakes. Stupid I know, but I'll listen to BG on this one.
