Reptile & Amphibian Forums

..and *POOF*, one day it will be gone.

The Anaheim, California City Council has proposed an ordinance, adding a new chapter to the Anaheim Municipal Code, prohibiting the possession and sale of certain exotic animals. The proposed ordinance defines a “wild and exotic animal” as “a non-domestic animal” and includes the orders and families of animals described in the act. Of special note to pet owners are snakes over 8 feet in length. The Board plans to ban any Anaheim resident from possessing or displaying these animals. The proposal was formally introduced at the September 25 meeting of the City Council and could be on the agenda for a public hearing at the Council's next meeting on October 9.

I had my reptiles confiscated in 1968, in anaheim. The rules was something about any reptile over a certain size, like that 8 ft thing. Or known to be dangerous. Then they stated, he personally knew that kingsnakes bite and were dangerous.

Some things do not change. Cheers
