We asked 1 snake owner
.   Keeps threatening people away (important in inner city areas)
.   Attracts interesting people
.   Reduces rodent population
.   Provides companionship

(It does not fetch things, open doors, or any of the usually assist
animal things.  <g>)
There are a couple of people in the east bay (San Francisco Bay Area)
using wheelchairs who own large snakes.

 Mary, I'd really like to know how a snake is used as an assistive
animal--it
sounds very interesting.                         Karen

Thanks Mary-I can see now how a snake could come in handy, even in my
own situation.
