It's a nice idea to have Geno be an ESA but you need to think about what's best for Geno and not what you want him to do for you. Honestly everyone else already brought up some fine points and the sites/articles you've read are for sure not legit. Anything that claims you can register an ESA pet is a scam and won't hold up to anything.

As Kira pointed out you need an ESA note from a therapist that has had multiple sessions with you so they can evaluate and be familiar with your issues to see if an ESA is necessary. It's definitely not something you can drop in going "hi can I have an ESA letter for my snake? Thank you and bye!"

I think this idea is more selfish than it is practical and better not pursued. Just food for thought
And no haha, I'm not trying to get Geno as a travel buddy! (I rarely even fly anyway) I just mentioned it as a benefit of having an ESA, not necessarily a snake. Again, I/m just so worried that I'll go somewhere and they just won't allow him. I'm not trying to be selfish in anyway, and I obviously want whats best for Geno. The snake ESA article wasn't legit? Well, actually I believe that it seemed pretty off. So... everything that says I can register an ESA is a scam? This one too? https://www.emotionalsupportanimalco.com/

I know I need a note, and I'm more than happy to have these sessions w/ a therapist. I know It'll take time.
And I'm really again not trying to be selfish, I just want to know I can always be with Geno. (For this 30 something years of his life)
(I have other snakes, Geno has a very special place in my heart. Don't tell the others!)
