Re: keeping reptiles in apartments.. illegal?
I looked at your city code.
This was the only thing that I could fine pertaining to exotics.
Sec. 4.6.1. Exotic animals.
(a) "Exotic animal" is defined as any animal which is not normally domesticated in the United States including, but not limited to, any lion, tiger, bear, nonhuman primate (monkey, chimpanzee, etc.), wolf, cougar, ocelot, wildcat, skunk, boa, python, or venomous snake, irrespective of its actual or asserted state of docility, tameness or domesticity.
(b) No one may maintain, display or possess any exotic animal that creates a public disturbance or is a danger to public health and safety as determined by a state humane officer.
(c) Subsection (b) of this section shall not apply to legally operated zoos or circuses unless the state humane officer shall give twenty-four (24) hours' advance notice that, by reason of inadequate caging or sanitation measures or by a particular hazard connected with the animal or animals involved, the public health and welfare will be endangered, nor shall it apply to birds, small rodents, or small nonpoisonous reptiles commonly owned as pets.
(Ord. No. 86-15, § 1.A.2, 5-28-86)
