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.

Like sgath92 said make sure u look into the city laws. And many have vague constrictor laws. Only reason they are allowed in my city is there is a loop hole in the law. Only boa cinstrictors are banned. Other species are fine. So def check the city local laws
