    Some local laws don't allow them. New York as a state does not ban ball pythons, as to your county and city laws (or homeowners assc. regulations), my advice is to try googling it.

    You would be incorrect. They are illegal in the 5 boroughs of NY (Brooklyn, Staten Island, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens) It is actually a felony to possess any python species in the 5 boroughs.

    Yonkers is in Westchester County, so you are fine.

    Maybe not by state, but they are illegal in the city of San Francisco... not in the neighboring counties, though.

    In addition to the areas already noted, they are also illegal in Hawaii (all snakes are).

    Thankfully, that regulation has a rational basis behind it; the native ecosystem in Hawaii could quite easily be decimated by introduced predators, and *many* snake species would find the climate to their liking. It's probably the only snake ban I can actually agree with.

    no outright ban of anything has a rational thought behind it
