moving to ny

I'm possibly moving to ny don't know what part yet and I have 2 ball pythons, any info I should know about laws permits etc that I should know beforehand???

thanks guys

where ya moving from?

There are no state wide laws against keeping ball pythons.

yea I THINK ITS JUST NYC NOTHING THAT CAN GET OVER 6FT

NYC is a no go on BPs. Anywheres else is fine.

Make sure you also check the town you're going to move to. Many local municipalities have vague "constrictor" bans. The town should have a website with their ordinances on it. Start there [better to see if its ok than to plant the idea in the heads of a local government who may go "now that you mention it, its legal here.. maybe we should think about banning them" ].

It would be in the part of their town's ordinances that deal with animals.

i just moved from ny to fla? have you lost your mind :P

Upstate an Long Island you are fine. NYC its illegal.

What's the reasoning for them being illegal in NYC? I've known that they were but never really looked into why.
