First, I must say *comfort*! That is an awful, reprehensible thing for them to do. People always wonder why non-believers are 'angry'...well that's it right there - believers Forcing their beliefs on others, especially their own children. Grr...
Ok, I saw your DOB and you're almost 18. Once you are, they have less power over your life. I say less rather than none because apparently you still live with them. So, sit down and have a serious talk with them. Let them know that you don't like what they're doing and that they cannot force their beliefs on you. Then, possibly try to come up with other activities you can do to show them you aren't 'some hooligan'.
Also, you can let them know that their 'threat' doesn't hold water as YOU bought and paid for those snakes and YOU care for them. If they tried to do anything to them, it would be stealing. Especially once you're 18.
Stand up for yourself and be strong! You have friends and support.
