I have copies of the NYC and NY State Laws regarding reptiles.
The State law bans the big guys; burmese, etc., moniters, etc., but does allow for pythons, boids, that stay below 8'.
The NYC law bans all boids, pythons, regardless of size potential. This is because the NYC Dept. of Health sought out only the NY Herp Society's "expert" opinion. Don't know what exactly transpired, but the Health Dept. took the shortcut route of excluding All Boids and Pythons, and other decisions that weren't thought out too well. As usual it only takes a few morons to ruin things for the majority.
I tried contacting various lawmakers, but they showed no interest whatsoever.
