Baltimore Announces Changes For Exotic Pet Owners

Wow that is promising. Hopefully....

I wrote her back and thanked her for her time, etc. It would be nice to change that archaic law. Because my jungle won't stay under 5 feet forever :P

Thanks again everyone.


:rockon:

FYI, Most cities have some sort of law on the size snake/reptile that can be kept in city limits. The larger cities tend to have shorter sizes. Most laws have been in place for many years but have never been enforced. This came into effect for one of the reptile shows in Philadelphia. The show was shut down after the first year due to a law about 6'(?) snakes.

Most likely, what happened here is somebody in Baltimore must have ton of birds they are keeping and some one that has connections complained about it. The same for the pigs.

I would write in and try to get things changed or better clear cut as to what snakes can be kept.

Well all comments were supposed to be in by Friday. They're suppose to be going over things now. So I guess some sort of information to be available this week...

Please hope this does not pass.
I don't want to have to find a new home for my boa and I know a lot of other reptile owners don't want to give up their's either.

This is exactly how NY started. It's all down hill now, I'm truly sorry. Politicians do not listen to anything you send without fact and documentation, and that only gets a eyebrow raise. Good luck, but I have a feeling you'll be seeing bans within a few years or so.
