Can you PROVE that they're legal to keep in Dover? Just because they're for sale at a particular pet store doesn't meant there isn't a law against them on the books. It just means either no one pays attention or enforces that law...or there is some exception that allows pet stores to sell them so long as they don't sell to Dover residents.

Sounds stupid...but it wouldn't be the first time. We bought our first snake from a really cool pet store in Fairfax, VA. They had a whole bunch of exotic animals for sale, but SOME of them could not be sold to actual Fairfax residents because it was illegal to own them in that county. The store was in Fairfax...but certain animals could only be sold to people who came in from other counties.

Just gotta be careful what assumptions you make.
