    From the standpoint of an insurer, or a court, snakes are property, not persons. You might be able to find insurance as a breeder, dealer on "inventory".

    Fire and theft is the best that you'll do.

    Thanks Adam. That was my point. You can't have life insurance on property. The best you can get is property insurance (in other words, fire and theft).

    Well, I think it gets tricky with some types of insurance. I know that prize breeder horses and cattle can be insured with "life insurance" (actually it's called mortality insurance with livestock) and even "stud insurance" which is just crazy. But I've talked to what I believe is every insurance agency in the US that covers livestock and not a single one will do either mortality or stud insurance for reptiles.
