Ball pythons illegal in some states?? What??

[Erratum]

I just found out that 'Pythons' are illegal where I'm moving, and of course this makes me terribly sad. I have been waiting for a long time to be able to move out and have one! The bylaw says nothing other than 'Pythons', which leads me to believe that all species are included, but I still plan on emailing whomever one emails about local laws to ask.

What makes it worse is that I'm moving so close to where the Canadian Reptile Breeders Expo is.

I live in the GTA and there is a bylaw against them in my particular town. I couldn't care less; it's just nonsense based on assumption, stereotype and ignorance. My ownership isn't flaunted around in public and they're not coming door to door to check for pythons. Not much of a problem.

edit: As per forum rules, I do not condone or suggest this. I am merely stating my situation.
