The thing with this is that they're illegal...

Haha, bowa

That spelling is being used because local by-law officials create alerts for keywords to crack-down on offenders keeping illegal animals. If they posted 'boa', dudes in uniforms would be knocking at their door and they wouldn't be smiling

Haha no way! That's awesome.

They don't all do it, but it does happen. Keeping illegals and being smart about it is one thing, but if you're going to advertise that you have them and provide your address and contact info like that, well, you kinda deserve what comes next. Unfortunately it impacts the sensible and responsible keepers out there too, so use your head, people

Really just depends on where you live if they are illegal

I thought they were restricted... Snakes over 6.5' that is.
I don't have time to look up the bylaws. If you could link it to me that would be great. I have a friend in Kitchener who just lost his collection of Bcc's

408.2.9 Kitchener bylaws for prohibited animals

http://code.municipalworld.com/kitchener/408.pdf

really only counts if you are right downtown or in suburbs.

because for where I live they have prohibited all farm animals but everyone around the town has farm animals, and it only matters if you let your neighbours know

waterloo looks a bit different, anything over 3m is prohibited so 9.84 ft

I thought you would have an updated link that's the same one they shoved in his face. He exact defense was he bought it at a pet store, that didn't fly. For some reason they are able to sell them?

I called from my cell and asked about purchasing a boa from a local store that sells them. She seemed quite safe telling me to buy it then register it with her.
She even went so far as to tell me if its registered and they change the law we would be grandfathered in and could even sell iur snake localy with the registration if we wanted. She almost sounded like a herper her self.
