Ok, so I have the information in my hand. You would not believe all that is listed on here..on second thought, you would!
Included in the ban is ALL species of Boidae and Pythonidae. That's right, my absolutely harmless Ball Python which is responsibly housed and cared for is not allowed to be in my posession. My Bearded Dragons are not affected.
If you have read the articles in the links I posted you may realize all of this came to be when someone coming from a large city who owns a fair amount of aracnids, snakes, etc... inquired about the local laws (Big mistake). Turns out this Bylaw has been around since Feb. 2008. Noone ever heard of it until now. Unless anyone here has a better idea for me I'm thinking the best thing to do is just play dumb and keep the snake on the down-low, I mean they never cared before, until these guys tried bringing all of these species down this way. I don't think I will be bothered, but if I were to go in front of the commitee and state that I own a species that is banned in this municipality and ask nicely for a exemption I will get handed an order to get rid of it within a given time frame.
Moving is not an option, and I do not want to give up the snake as I am quite attached to her.
What would you do in this situation?
