You need a permit. My understanding is that since they are may-issue that they are almost impossible to get.

Pretty sure you are out of luck there...not a resident but as far as I know hots are a no-go in NYC, & it does make sense IMO. A loose cobra in high density population would not go over well...:rolleyes:

Animals aren't all banned for the same reasons: ferrets getting loose present a danger to local wildlife as a non-native predator, & can carry diseases. Not sure why NYC
bans them though. :confusd:
When I lived in So. Calif. it was also illegal to have gerbils, commonly kept as pets in many other states, because the strong agricultural lobby feared crop damage from
those that escaped or were released would become established, & even though they were similar to native species already there.
With venomous snakes, many high density population areas have a pretty good reason to just say "no", IMO. Even with permits, accidents (escapes) can happen.

Oh no doubt. I just figured if they drew the line at ferrets then hots would most definitely be on the "NO" side of that line.
