I'm talking about the legal definition - under 18 can not sign contracts, must do as the parents say unless the minor has been emancipated (which is rare), etc.

In this case the parents were unfortunately ignorant and the snake was almost "taken out back and shot". Fortunately they agreed to having it rehomed, but it had to be gone by sundown...
