With the increasing popularity of people keeping reptiles as pets/companions. And the increasing threat for them being stolen as I have heard of, do you think insurance companies should insure reptiles against theft.
I have contacted several Insurance companies such as Suncorp, RACQ, NRMA and AAMI, with no success of insurance.
Even though my collection is small compered to other members of this site, I still value my snakes and I would like to insure them.
I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to break into my house since I have 8 Security trained Dobermans on site, but the risk is still there, thats where I am glad of where I live in the country, but if I lived in the city I think it would be a real concern.
We all know that our reptiles not only hold a personnel value but also financial value as reptiles can cost anything up to $5000.00 for a Green Tree Python (Chondropython viridis), and with the Black Market always looming around I believe we should be able to insure them.
