As of June 29, 1999 the ownership of the Ball python has been banned within the city of New York.
The Department of Health made the move to ban hundreds of species of animals from ownership within the city limits claiming them to be harmful to the public. Ferrets, sugar gliders, the family Pythonidae which includes ball pythons (royal pythons) and the common green iguana are only a few of those animals that would now be illegal to own. These pets were lumped in with animals such as elephants, tigers, wolves, venomous snakes, bears and more.
I use to live in NYC up to 2003. I had 3 green iguana that i had to give away because of that.
