			<description><![CDATA[ Last year I contacted every company I could find that offers loss insurance for animals (e.g. livestock, race horses, zoo animals). None of them offered
policies for reptile collections.
<br>
<br>
Eleven years ago I had extensive smoke damage to my house from a lamp on a timer that fell over while I was at work and burned completely through a hardwood
floor. My insurance covered the claim but dropped me when I mentioned snake enclosures in the list of things damaged. There was nothing in the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey Tim- I agree with you re: the pet stores. But that&#39;s business coverage and the animals are covered as an asset. As a private individual (which I think
was your original question right), it&#39;s much different. I can&#39;t ever remember hearing of a insurance company, homeowner&#39;s or otherwise, that
covered pet loss (only vet bills). I think it would be a nightmare for the company to figure out the rates from an actuarial standpoint, not to mention coming
to an agreement with the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I never thought of getting coverage for my pets. I know you could do it for dogs against bites. I had it with my German Shepard. it was 300 a year.
<br>
but with my birds and snakes i never thought of that. but my Insurance won&#39;t even cover my motorcycle I have to go through a seperate carrier! I doubt they
would cover my pets. I will have to look into this!! HMMMMMM ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Curious to hear more about this as well. I&#39;ve brought it up to various folks with $100,000+ collections, and just get laughed at.
<br>
<br>
I mean, you can insure anything, i&#39;m curious as to why you wouldn&#39;t! ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I know that pet stores do have coverage for loss do to power outages,equipment failure and the like but not for lack of proper care and it defiantly covers
fire/flood etc. I know plenty of claims were filed for the black out in the north east a few years back. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think there two distinct scenarios here:
<br>
1) Denying homeowners coverage due to having exotic pets
<br>
I&#39;d like to think that the risk assessors would be smart enough to research chondros and deem them &#39;harmless&#39;. Unfortunately, I can&#39;t imaging
that they would go through that much effort to distinguish a Green Tree Python from a Burmese or Reticulated Python. I think the dog situation that you
mentioned is a bit different. Just from a popularity/numbers perspective I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I wasn&#39;t planning on it I have a relatively small collection but I was just curious about those of you out there that have many many thousands of dollars
in their collections. I mean what if you had a fire or got hit by a tornado. My neighbor just had a fire in his house last winter because he had his diesel
pickup plugged in to keep the engine warm at night and it caused a big fire that involved his house being gutted. As far as insurance companies are concerned
they hire top experts to... ]]></description>

sake. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I know insuring your reptile collection seems like a good idea, and in my opinion, it is. Unfortunately if you tell your homeowners insurance agent that you
have a colection of reptiles, you could wind up stepping in deep poop. Insurance companies consider reptiles (snakes especially) to be &#39;dangerous
animals&#39; and the odds are very good that your insurance costs could go through the roof. That is, if your insurer doesn&#39;t dump you completely. Or force
you to get rid of the snakes.... ]]></description>
