This is the list that I found on the convoluted NYS Assembly site. Calls to the DEC have not resulted in info on permits/fees/anything definitive yet.

regulation, and the following species and families: Burmese Python
(Python m. bivittatus), Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus), African
Rock Python (Python sabae), Green Anaconda (Eunectes maurinus), Yellow
Anaconda (Eunectes notaeus), Australian Amethystine Python (Morelia
amethistina kinhorni), Indian Python (Python molurus), Asiatic (water)
Monitor (V. salvator), Nile Monitor (V. nilocitus), White Throat Monitor
(V. albigularus), Black Throat Monitor (V. albigularus ionides) and
Crocodile Monitor (V. salvadori) and any hybrid thereof,
(6) Crocodilia.
