That is one option, but check out the last sentence of this excerpt from chapter 372 of the Florida statutes (conspicuously absent from the documents on F&G's web site).
372.88 Bond required, amount.--No person, party, firm, or corporation shall exhibit to the public either with or without charge, or admission fee any poisonous or venomous reptile without having first posted a good and sufficient bond in writing in the penal sum of $1,000 payable to the Governor of the state, and the Governor's successors in office, conditioned that such exhibitor will indemnify and save harmless all persons from injury or damage from such poisonous or venomous reptiles so exhibited and shall fully comply with all laws of the state and all rules and regulations of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission governing the keeping, possessing, or exhibiting of poisonous or venomous reptiles; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the surety for all such injuries or damages shall, in no event, exceed the penal sum of said bond. The surety for said bond must be a surety company authorized to do business under the laws of the state or in lieu of such a surety, cash in the sum of $1,000 may be posted with the said commission to ensure compliance with the conditions of said bond.

"The surety for said bond must be a surety company authorized to do business under the laws of the state or in lieu of such a surety, cash in the sum of $1,000 may be posted with the said commission to ensure compliance with the conditions of said bond."
Exactly what I said. Thanks, I don't have my listing of all the regulations with me although I did publish them in an article for the SHHS.
See, it says you can go through a surety [insurance] company OR cash in the sum of $1000.
I guess most people just cough up the $1000 rather than look for an approved insurance company.
Trust me, there are herpers out there that know insurance companies that offer this type of bonding. If I was at home and had access to my records, I could tell you the name of the one I will use when I finally get back home.

huh? why do I feel that I stepped into a time warp? I feel like I need a lawyer to decipher this... for surety! hehe.... why is it that they always have to scramble and muddle up such an easy thing with stupid langor? SAY IT STRAIGHT! lol.
just joking.... so, basically I either need to cough up a grand, or tell (find) my insurance company that I'm housing lethal animals... I think I got it....thaks to everyone for your responses...

I would say that if you want to try the bond route, to do it with a different insurance company. I personally don't know if this ensures that you're insurer won't find out, but I certainly wouldn't tell them myself...
