    Where can you keep the GIANTS in Canada?

    Hey!

    It is my dream to own a retic or burm in the near future. I am only 16 and I already have plans to be moving out when im 18 - 20, The second I move out I am buying a giant

    I am going to chose either a African rock python, Burm, or retic. But thats for another thread

    Anyway, I was wondering where I may research areas that do not have any bans of the giants?

    In the area im in new (Newmakret ontario) we have a ban on all snakes reaching over 3 metres.

    I have searched everywhere to find a place that doesnt have this stupid bylaw but I cant seem to find anything

    Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Thanks!

    Re: Where can you keep the GIANTS in Canada?

    Your request is pretty broad.

    Ontario, I believe, has no province-specific bans on large constrictors.

    This means that you just have to look at more local laws, like you looked up for Newmarket.

    In general, more rural areas are more likely to have loose restrictions on EVERYTHING, where as suburbs (particularly affluent suburbs) and large cities are more strict.

    In the USA , affluent suburbs more often than not have Homeowners' Associations, which even dictate the approved colors you can paint your house. This just shows some of the extremes you can get in regulation of private living that you may experience in places around Ontario as well.

    My suggestion, look for places that are a little further away from work and be willing to commute.
