what reptiles/amphibians are specifically illegal (in a civil sense?) in the 5 boros of nyc?
and in the case of theft (criminal) of their specimens and/or collections, is the owner also charged (civil? criminals?!) for having them in the first place?
is there a certain date from which ownership backwards is automatically grandfathered, without documentation, or if with, what kind?
just wondering; no i don't plan to move back there but can think of a handful of manhattanites with exotic reptiles in their apts/condos and wonder what would happen two-fold whether their illegal(s) were stolen and/or if authorities were simply made aware of such 'pets'
?
