I happen to live in a town in Canada that restricts us. I think the restrictions re a bit excessive, but I choose to for some reason abide by them. Mainly because I have children and a piece of trash for an ex wife...I don't want to give her any ammo to further ruin the lives of our children.

We have to register dogs annually and pay the city a fee...our politicians are morons that have a town of 500k greater than 100 million dollars in debt and continue to stupidly spend money on useles BS...but this is life.

We can't keep anything with venom, period.

Snakes are restricted to non venom and less than 3 meters in length as an adult

Reptiles are restricted to non venom and less than 2 meters in length as an adult.

.................

I don't need a snake that is in excess of those numbers, even being a retired fighter 6'2 and 230 pounds of the good stuff...I have no desire to handle a snake larger than a Ball Python. I have nothing to prove to anyone.
