In the city I live in there is a no constrictor law. That's pretty much everything that's not venomous with a small few exceptions. It's funny that there are a few pet shops in the city that sell snakes. So the law is rarely enforced. That being said I had the animal control show up at my house last summer because of a complaint from a neighbor. They were there to confiscate whatever I had at the house. Thankfully I keep all my snakes at my building in a city that allows constrictors. The moral of the story is I didn't lose anything except my feelings towards my neighborStupid laws!!! Brian(BHB)
