Maybe this is a course you should look closely at following.
I have already begun this process because as best I can tell I don't stand a chance getting an exemption or anything like that (for reasons already discussed in this thread). I have deleted all pictures of her from Facebook, have been telling my close friends and family who know about her what is going on and will not be showing her to any new people or talking openly about it in public. Also, anyone who knows who may ask about her who I do not know well will be told I lost interest and sold her to a friend who lives out of town.

I dont see any other option. I am a responsible owner so there should be no reason for a problem to arise. She's not going to be roaming at large, she's not bothering anyone, therefore there should be no reason for anyone to report me and that in my eyes is the only thing that would cause me trouble. They are not actively looking for these types of things, going door to door, or offering rewards for information or anything, and I imagine a lot of people who know people who have reptiles aren't even aware of this bylaw.
