it is easy to register your animal as an ESA but still very difficult to deal with in real life. is it worth it to u or your animal? as an owner of many snakes, many BP's i know they do not do well away from their heat source and hides. they are stressed. do u wanna do that to your snake? it doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do to put your pet in that situation.
Thank you. Yes, I am young. I've got my parent's permission, and my mom thinks it would potentially help me (I wasn't about to take an application and "register" him without her saying yes)

Those links are very helpful, I've read them. I guess I didn't really state this but I think the main reason I want to do this is so I'm able to keep Geno with me. I know (hope) this guy will be around by the time I'm in college, I don't think I could live w/o him! I'm not wanting to take him with me everywhere (as in inside/in public places etc.) I go, just something that says we should be together. So, he'd be in his tank with his heat and hides every day.
