As far as I know. They aren't.
Re: What is banned and where?
I believe I read recently that RTBs are banned in NYC, not NY state.
This will be a great post if it really gets lots of accurate information posted.

I agree this would be a great post but everyone needs to chip in and state facts. Just like you mentioned RTBs are banned in NYC.. Do your research and post it here. Share with everyone.
Re: What is banned and where?
This Information comes from the Indiana DNR website.
http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3328.htm
"A wild animal possession permit and special confinement parameters are required for individuals owning crocodilians five feet or more in length or a venomous reptile obtained lawfully. The purchase or sale of these species is prohibited in Indiana."
"The sale of turtles with a carapace less than 4 inches long (regardless of species or origin) is prohibited, except for valid scientific or educational purposes as defined in 312 IAC 9-5-7.
Exemptions are made for certain educational institutions, zoological parks, fish suppliers and holders of a reptile captive breeder’s license."
So basically Indiana residents cant obtain or own a venomous species with out a permit, need permit for larger crocodilians, sell native species or sell small turtles. Much more information in the link above.
