Hi Michael, from what I understand, all constrictors were illegal in NYC several years ago, due to a misclassification to the law.
A friend of mine helped write it, but the pushers weren't interested in the ssp, and so vaguely said constrictors were illegal.
Well, when the law was ready to be pushed to all of NY state, this is when we all petitioned to Pataki.

Now, besides venemous, and illegal, endangered and more, the only snakes we would need to know are illegal, are the 5 giants:
Anacondas, Burmese/Indian, African Rocks, Retics, and either Scrubs or Water Pythons.

Basically, something you can buy for a few bucks at the pet store that will reach 10-12 feet in the first year and ahalf or two years, and possibly be a problem.

Boas, balls... all fine.

I'm in Brooklyn, NYC, and work in midtown on W59th.

The scene up here is alright, then again i'm not too actively involved, mostly because I don't have a car at the moment.

I do head up to White Plains with friends whenever I can, and there are quite a few big breeders around here.

Some of the people in the surrounding areas are

Frank Martin
Greg Riso
Mike Brooks - TNS reptiles
Adam - Millenium Morphs
Ian Diamello
Paul Mitchell
and many, many more...


Let me know when you get up here, we'll meet up..

Well, speak to you again... Joe
