Selling snakes and spiders

Q: I would like to know if there is any ruling regarding a Muslim breeding and selling snakes and spiders. It it allowed in Islam?

A: These creatures are contemptible creatures. It is not appropriate to keep these things as pets.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
