Snakes Banned from Zootopia

Why are snakes banned from Zootopia? You see, when Judy Hopps was policing the

streets, we would see a lot of mammals, but never any reptiles. I mean,

even Nick Wilde said- No snake has set foot in Zootopia in forever. So,

when a snake appeared on stage, everyone looked terrified- There's a snake!

... causing Nick and Judy to chase it, and Chief Bogo to instantly make the

snake a suspect. But why? You see, when Nick and Judy caught up to the

snake, it said- Snakes aren't the bad guys. And then, this beaver showed

them a secret underground reptile city, but it was in the lawless part of Zootopia.
