One thing I might add here if I may, is if you are going to look up any ordinances for your city or area, is do NOT make inquires about the ordinances to the public officials of that area. This is because they will often either not know and end up (in many cases) giving you false information about what is or isn't legal, or it will simply bring to their attention the fact that there are people that may be keeping reptiles or "dangerous wild animals" in their area, and therefore spur them on to create an ordinance against them if there isn't one already. I have heard of ordinances in several towns here in Wisconsin that have come about that very way.

Instead I would suggest either checking to see if your town/area is listed in the Law database on here or looking them up yourself. Many city websites now have their ordinances available on their websites or Municode, usually under ones designated for Pets and Animals.
