[Oxylepy]

Haha, they'll need to purchase all their anti-venom elsewhere and wont be able to use it as an export.

Silly Canadians.

They should just given us a list of what we can have.. it'd be shorter.

Interesting list. What is the difference between 'controlled' species and 'restricted' species? There must be some pretty important game farm concerns up there, I noticed a distinct absence of exotic deer and antilope species. I guess it's not allowable to keep certain animals for pets, but if you can get someone to pay you to shoot one you've raised it's perfectly hunky dory. They did a pretty thorough job of listing snakes that were even remotely venomous, even those with such weak venom that the only way it could be harmful to a person would be to freeze the snake solid and hit someone over the head with it.

This is a pretty good example of legislators gone wild, just making stuff up as they go.

Aww darnit! Here I was going to move to BC and get me a Black-Backed Jackal and a Baboon! Oh well, maybe next time.

You think thats bad I legally can't keep anything that grows to be more than 3 ft. for pythons and boas and 2 ft. for lizards in my town.
