Did you move out of NYC in the past 5 days or are you just basically gonna acquire a BP even though you are aware of he fact that they are ILLEGAL where you live (NYC), did you mention that little detail to your parents also?
Yes I know it's hard I have the same problem where I live.
Have you thought of what would happen if you had to take your BP to a vet?
Or would you just not take it to avoid being reported and your animal being seized?
Here we try to encourage responsible pet ownership and owning animals that are illegal to own where you live is not really what I call responsible pet ownership.
LOL I was literally 1 minute late on my post. Good point, however if you do possess an illegal reptile, I know a great exotic vet on Staten Island who does house calls for a very reasonable price.
