Very poorly written city code yet sadly typical of legislators that have no clue what they're talking about. Most snakes that aren't venomous are constrictors but not all of them. You could still keep racers or garter snakes or water snakes or possibly hognoses (though some people consider them venomous) technically I guess you could also keep elephant trunk snakes or wolf snakes though I wouldn't advise it without a lot of experience. I guess I really can't tell you what I would do in this situation because that would be a violation of rule number 8 of the TOS![]()
