keeping venomous reptiles.
(1) It shall be unlawful for any owner or person in charge to keep any wild or

(2) It shall be unlawful for a private individual to keep, maintain or house a
venomous reptile.
(3) It shall be unlawful for the owner or person in charge to keep or permit to

Re: Snake Ban
That rule number one sounds like it might would apply to any pythons/boas doesn't it?

Re: Snake Ban
Hi,
I would look into what the requirements were to become a wildlife rehabilitator and obtain the required permits and if anyone else could apply for said permits.
But they seriously went for the blanket ban didn't they.
I also find it wierd that petshops can have them but obviously not sell them - ask them how much a petshop license is while your at it.
