It is illegal to use a reptile to harass someone.

The Law Explained

Kentucky lawmakers felt it necessary to explicitly forbid the use of snakes, lizards, or other reptiles as instruments of harassment or intimidation. This law is closely tied to the state's broader animal control and assault statutes, aiming to deter folks from throwing wild snakes at their neighbors during a rural feud. If you are going to argue, you must leave the local herpetology out of it.
