NC Laws?

HappyHillbilly Dec 28, 2006 08:37 AM

Hey there!
Can anyone give me a link to North Carolina's laws/regualtions on the keeping of alligators and/or crocodillians, in general?

Thanks for your time & help, I appreciate it.

Have a good one!
Mike

Alligators are illegal in NC since they are native to eastern NC. You can find spectacled and dwarf caiman for sale at local petshops.

Isn't there an "Educational" exception? Do you have a link to where I can find this info?

Thanks, Ed!

I am sure there are some exceptions since I have seen gators at aquariums and zoos. I have no information on it though.

Thanks, Ed!
I finally found it using "Search" on the website that John White posted a link to. I had looked all over that same site before I posted my question but somehow overlooked it.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you, John!

I had looked high & low on that website for info on gators and rattlers but didn't find anything, until now. I used the "Search" feature and found what I was looking for.

Thanks for redirecting me there.

Have a good one!
