I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this. I was curious if there was anyone out there familiar with Oakville bylaws concerning owning ball pythons, as I will be moving there soon. I was researching the bylaws to see if they had anything on owning Hognose snakes, but instead found a bylaw that seemed to ban owning any python species. (And 'Poisonous Colubrid Species' which may or may not include hognoses).
Heres the bylaw I found:
http://www.oakville.ca/bylaws.htm
(in case the link does not bring you there, the bylaw number is 1976-153)
As you can see, it prohibits the owning of boas and pythons (it was amended to allow geckos and iguanas). It makes no distinction between species of pythons.
Now this bylaw is quite old (from the 70's), and even the amendments date back to 1990 and 1995. Is there any more recent amendment or new bylaw regarding the owning of ball pythons in Oakville? Am I looking in the wrong place? Anyone in or around Oakville know the deal with this?
