Man fined $190 for not putting a leash on his pet snake, Lucy

Jerry Kimball of Sioux Falls, South Dakota received a $190 ticket because he failed to put a leash on his pet boa constrictor, Lucy, when he took her to a park. He was literally asking me to put a rope around my snake, Kimball told The Argus Leader. I was like dude, no. I was dumbfounded.

Animal Control Supervisor Julie DeJong told the paper that the ticket was appropriate. Snakes fall under the same restrictions as cats and dogs, she stressed.
