Brantford, Ontario

[Matt]

I know there are at least a couple people here from Brantford.
I am moving there shortly and I was interested to know the animal by-laws....

specifically regarding boids & of course venomous....
actually, i think I'll be outside the city limit, but Im interested just in case!

thanks to whomever can help

hey matt, well, right in brantford with in the city limits, bylaws are pretty brutal... I believe its no boas or pythons, or venomous, and any colubrid size doesn't matter... BUT NO boas or pythons or venomous what so ever...also, no lizards over 3 feet. BUT what i have found is outside of brantford you are allowed ANYTHING, i live in Paris ontario on weekends right now as thats wher emy girlfriend is when she isn't at college and there are absolutely no bylaws there. I wouldn't go aroudn telling everyone what you have though. But yeah, to summarize there are no bylaws to my knowledge that are for brant county, only within the city limits of brantford, but you may want to check for whatever town you will be living in just to make sure...


where abouts are you moving?
