The organization says it does not have room to keep the animals. There are nine snakes ready for adoption, including six boa constrictors.

Phil Fulton of the Calgary Humane Society said the snakes may be exoticbut they are easy to care for.

"They're perfect if you have allergies," he said, addingthey only shed once a month.

Fulton says the snakes are easy to clean up after, as feedings onlyhappen monthly.

Jim Dyke, the owner of pet shop J & J Reptiles, said snakes make great petsbut warns people to do their homework.

"People think if you just keep it in a smaller enclosure it's going to stay small," he said.

"If you feed it, it's going to grow."

The snakes are available for adoption from the Calgary Humane Society for a cost of $50.
