I have been searching online for about a month now and cannot find an ounce of law dealing with this small towns animal laws. I only post this now because of a family/neighbor dispute that resulted in the local law shining a light on my residence and I'm sure the next time they will want to come inside, just don't want any negative ramificatiins. Petty is an underatatement of this town with the laws and the people in it, I've only been living here a few months and already want to leave. There are many herp hobbyists and breeders alike around here and as far as laws go, all I'm getting is local opinion. I've read that in Ohio you can own a snake under 12 feet as long as it's not venomous but I'm 'hearing' that:
#1. 6' and over is prohibited
#2. Any snakes that constrict are prohibited
And my favorite...
#3. If the cops say you cant have it, you cant have it, no matter what the law says lol
As a person I basically only follow laws that I believe in (if there is no cars coming, I dont fully stop at the stop sign, I dont wear a seatbelt, etc)
I know a lot of my fellow herpers from Girard are on here, any FACTs about the local laws? Please & Thank you!
Ps. If you dont know where its at, Girard is very close to Niles, Oh which was recently heavily covered over their ridiculous herp laws
