Here is a copy of Green Bay's exact ordinance in regards to reptiles as of this last May:



All domestic animals kept in Green Bay need to be registered or licensed pursuant to city ordinances. In addition, some reptiles are not allowed at all within the city because they are on the “Prohibited Animal List.” Please see the ordinance copied below for more information. Thanks,
