Hey guys, I'm sorry if I asked this before.. I searched and didn't find anything though.

When I move out, I'm thinking I want to live in Texas. Seems to me it is one of the better states as far as exotic animal laws go. I found a law page that outlines exotic pet laws: http://www.api4animals.org/372.htm

It says:
'No person may possess a dangerous wild animal without first obtaining a license (certificate of registration). Dangerous wild animals are defined as lions, tigers, ocelots, cougars, leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, bobcats, lynxes, servals, caracals, hyenas, bears, coyotes, jackals, baboons, chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas, or any hybrids of the animals listed. However, there are no requirements for a person possessing all other animal not listed above, such as monkeys, wolves etc.'

No reptile mention there, but I was somewhere else and found that piranhas are illegal in Texas. That got me to thinking.. many laws don't list fish/birds/reptiles as 'animals'. I want to know if there are any statewide bans on large snakes. I guess it's legal to own a caiman, so it wouldn't make sense that boids would be illegal.. but who ever said laws made sense.

Sorry for the long post.. I just really want to know. I need to live in a big-herp friendly place.
