You are correct if you make it about just snakes.
Instead make it about property rights and allowing others irrational fears to impact your freedoms.
If what you do does not real harm then there is no need to govern it at all. If there is harm or potential for harm then only those aspects should be governed.
i.e. A crazy cat-lady could create a health risk for people and the animals but, a dedicated cat fancier could house just as many felines without those risks.
The problem needs to be addressed not the symptom.

Hope that clarifies it a bit.

And, it never hurts if affected communities can get behind a person like this and help fund a defence.
