I'm sorry, I cannot stop myself. Obviously everyone on here likes snakes, but a snake as some kind of service animal? Please. This smells like nothing more than abuse of the system. And just like another topic that is on the political agenda right now, please keep in mind that not everyone shares your views. Snake lovers are a minority. My neighbors don't even know I have snakes. I do not take them outside. Whether we like it or not there are a lot of misinformed people that are scared to death of snakes. Some with outright phobias. I wouldn't in a million years walk into a store where I live carrying a snake. I am likely to give some old lady a heart attack. I do my best to respect other people and generally I get respect back. Carrying a snake around in public is nothing more than a grab for attention.
