Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knew if retics were legal to own in quebec?
I have been helping my friend with his for years, and I have personally owned snakes for the majority of my life.In a few months he will be moving overseas and wont be able to bring his snake with him and I have been thinking of adopting it.

Where can I find the laws regarding the ownership of large reptiles in quebec, I have bounced around on the phone for about 2 weeks now and havent gotten a straight answer from anyone yet, they keep transfering me back and forth.

(because im sure someone is going to bring it up) Yes I do know how large this snake will get,(currently 22 feet) and I know that I wont safely be able to handle it on my own, and the costs involved in keeping a snake this size fed and healthy.

It is legal.

There isn't any provincial law banning retics in Quebec but there may be municipal laws that may. Typically the website for the city/town/community you live in lists their by-laws. Not all do but that is one place to check. If none are present, you can check with the local SPCA about exotic laws. Though I would just ask about restrictions on owning large non venomous snakes...they probably won't know what a retic was till they hear the word 'python'. Even then some may not even know now to identify a reticulated python from other large snakes.
