. I was just googling this topic and this link popped up. Guess that's why they always have conventions outside the 5 boroughs...

Just wondering why everyone assumes New York City when NY is mentioned. NY is a rather large state and we have no idea where in NY this person is even from.

its one of those laws that no one pays attention to kind of like jay walking. they sell bps in Nassau and Suffolk county and Nassau county borders one of the boroughs they never mention that they are illegal to own in the city. nypd has better things to do than worry about snakes btw my uncle is nypd and has been on the force for 15 yrs and he didn't even know they were illegal

They are illegal in Norway. ALL reptiles (except some species of turtles) are illegal there.

That's three...from my understanding in the 5 boroughs it's a no no... But nothing heavily stressed

after moving away from home, and falling in love with snakes, i would still agree with olstyn. there are so many native species that have been put on the endangered list because of the introduction of animals that have no natural predators in the islands. after moving, i totally flipped out every time i saw wild animals that weren't ever seen out and about back home: all types of large birds, rabbits, squirrels, frakking black widow spiders... the list goes on!
