Are bal pythons illegal in Virginia?

[FlynnTheBP]

At the state level ball pythons are legal. Some Virginia cities have their own ordinances regarding exotic animals, Arlington in particular is currently looking at changing theirs to ban all snakes longer than four feet.

In addition some HOA's have CCR's about home-based businesses so breeding and selling as a business would be a no-no but doing it as a hobby would be fine.

Wow, I had no idea Arlington is considering bans. I love the city and that really makes me sad. Luckily, male BP's likely won't exceed four feet, though it might be pushing it a bit.
