^this, but it seems hard to believe that keeping Ball Pythons was they reason your kids were removed from the home.

Definitely. I think addressing and remediating the core custody issue is your first challenge. Once that is set, you can focus more time on the snake issue. Having non-traditional pets is always an added obstacle in these types of issues. Likely there are educational resources through USARK that can aid you in convincing the courts that bps are not posing a danger to kids. Data and statistics are your best friend.
