I live in st catharines (just east of Hamilton) and Hamilton laws regarding snakes are stupid. It's legal when your in the pet store to have a snake then once you leave your breaking the law? Everyone in Hamilton owns snakes, EVERYONE! How do you think 2 of the largest feeder retailers are surviving in Hamilton?
It's time everyone gets together to get this law changed.
Oh and btw, if you have a decent sized burm, feed the person who called the SPCA on you to it.
