I am currently facing a similar situation with DSHS and our Fostercare Liscense. A Ball Python is considered a dangerous snake to them and I am tyring to educate them about how docile and easy to keep they are. The WAC is so vague I think I am screwed though. For now I am keeping the snakes in the Utility room which is seperate from the house and has a lock on the door. I have power water and cable out there so its fine but they are still giving me a heck of a time. Let me know if you guys have any better ideas. Worst part is city and county ordinances dont find these snakes dangerous. And I have no requirements to register them or have a permit. The worst part is we originally got a snake for our Son (we adopted him from fostercare) and he is doing a bang up job of taking care of the snake the added responsibility has been great for him. He did a ton of research before hand and takes great care of his snake.
