Oh no that's awful, what a total b*tch, I feel so sorry for you

It may be worth putting a pic up on here of your snake for people to see?

Ah no hun,thats awful. Your snakes do not affect her in the slightest as she doesn't come your house. Does she not realise she's hurting her son with this behaviour too bearing in mind how much he likes them.
Hope she falls of her broomstick!

If you do have to rehome Midget could any from the site do it on a short term basis. As in when you have space for another one dont wanna say when one passes on but there you go. Then they could pass him back to you. Know it would be a bit of a pain for some people but if anyone has space maybe they could take him in for you. If someone does rehome him for good though does he come with anything and do you want some money or possibly a donation for an animal charity that you know of. Hope you get it sorted out.

Ill post a pic of him up in the snake pics section, some body mentioned about the shed idea, i asked would it make a difference to my friend if her dogs lived out side and they said no 10 animals per house hold in the garden or house i was thinking of saying that to them that the dogs lived out side and so did the guineas but it wouldnt make a difference, plus i currently have 14 animals and only the cat is really old the others are relativley young, he wouldnt come with any thing as he is in a viv in the viv stack currently as he loves his big spaces even though its not reccomended he uses every inch of it :) his hides etc would end up being used for my other reptiles too unfortuntley as i foster the odd reptile for a charity i work with (now snakes are off my option list :( , a really good home is most important for me that is going to spoil him rotten like i do (if that possible) lol so just asking for a small amount for him to ensure he doesnt go to free bee hunters that would just sell him on really, im in leigh lancashire and ive put an add up for him on this page but no where else as i want him going to some one i can stay in contact with if possible to see how he is getting along and if your on this site your passionate about your snakes like i am :) x

Have only skimmed through the first page of this thread, but usually pets are defined as "animals that could cause damage or flea infestation to a property". By rights the council can say absolutely nothing about them, they arenot classed as pets because they are contained in tanks, like fish!!
Fish do not come under the same rule for pets as furries do.

In regards the ex telling social services, then let her. Social services will visit to confirm that there is no danger to the child, and she'll have no leg to stand on.
We had a similar issue a couple years back when we had a rottweiler and my grandaughter used to live with us, they came round saw that the dog and we were safe, if you try to avoid the visits they will assume the worst and that you're trying to hide it.

Quite simply as someone else has said, hit it head on, if need be, YOU invite social services round to confirm that it's a safe environment for the child, you'd be surprised at how nice they are really if you don't try to avoid things.
Then get them to confirm in writing that it's a safe environment and stuff that right up the ex's backside with a nice bow tied round it made of barbed wire.

Couldn't have said it better, you are not breaking any rules keeping a few snakes, not the councils tenancy rules, not the court order (I'm sure there won't be a snake and other animals the mother is frightened of clause in there) so absolutely call her bluff, it sounds like if you've had to get a court order that she is just being difficult and this is just an excuse to continue that pattern of behaviour. Tell her to call whoever she wishes to call as they will find not a scrap of a reason to change any arrangements already in place.

Good luck and I hope you sort this without having to give up everything you love.

totally agree with K and lotabob ^^^

theres always the hide him option?

Um guys, she's already rehomed one snake and the other is going to Claire Daz.

So sorry to read this, but glad someone from the forum has taken him on. I must admit I was tempted as I saw you were in Leigh - but I thought that was Leigh-on-Sea in Essex lol!! Lancashire is too far!! Not a problem now though as you have sorted it. So sorry it ended this way though, I hope your partner appreciates your sacrifice! xx
