They are very friendly, so feel free to approach them and give them scritches. We also have a pet ball python named Lava. His tank is located in a private room. He will not be taken out of his tank during your stay unless you communicate that you are comfortable with snakes. Our neighbor has a lab mix named Merlin. He has access to our yard and sometimes comes over to play. GUEST PETS AND SERVICE ANIMALS While our cat Ginger loves humans, she does not tolerate unfamiliar cats and dogs. Therefore, we do not allow guests to bring pets. We have obtained an official exemption from Airbnb to also disallow service animals. If you have a service animal that is not a cat or dog, we are more than happy to make accommodations.
