Can anyone help in New York?.

Ok found the info and you were correct ( see page 2 and 3 ). I was really surpised to see the extent of the forbidden species. Do kingsnakes fall under the colubrid category?

( sorry to go off topic so feel free to move to another thread ).

Thanx "bigjej" for your info. much appreciated mate. I don't know nothing about snakes mate, so I can't comment about anything to do with them, have enough probs. getting Chams. in to the U.K. :-(

Sorry to say but there are no reptile shops in NYC. But i can recommend that you take the subway (thats our Underground) up to Bronx Zoo. It has an amazing collection and after a week of staying in Times Square , those will be the only animals that you will appreciate during your stay. Cheers!

Thankyou for the info. Lon,(bwt501) "Your a star mate", much appreciated. What's the weather like in New York this time of the year? is it like the U.K. pouring down rain? but hey, I've never been to the States, so who cares, hehehe... Our hotel is next door to an Irish bar, so will def. be going in there. I LOVE THE IRISH, GREAT PEOPLE, and I love the rebel folk music, (mom's Irish blood) So come rain, sunshine, It's going to be great. I've heard all about how good your burgers are in the States :-) much bigger, and better than our's in England, with a pint of Guinness, I CAN'T WAIT :-):-)

The weather right now is in the mid 90's. But there is a hurricane headed up the east coast that they think may hit here Friday with alot of wind & rain. Expected temp this weekend after the storm is supposed to be in the upper 70's low 80's.
& yes kingsnakes are considered colubrids. There are pet stores,but as stated before you will find hardly any species due to the laws & what you will find will most likely be cared for improperly. The zoo will be your best bet.

Hi ya John, Thankyou for your info. ye, I've seen on our news re-the hurricane that's heading your way, take care mate, hope all o.k. and you don't get the eye of the storm??..
We in the U.K. are lucky that we don't get extreme bad weather that often, not like your's anyhow. Do you think the storm will be gone by Monday? that's when we fly from the U.K. at 5a.m. our time. I can't wait to get to New York, my wife or I have never been to the States. We are near to "Times square" the MUSE HOTEL,(next to Irish bar:-)
I want to go to see Central Park, John Lennon's memorial, I was and still am a big fan of his. (Best thing that ever come from Liverpool) Well! thanx again John, please friend my request, and we'll have a good old chin wag soon, CHEERS MATE,

Regards, Col.

Hi all, just to update everyone re-my hols. in New York. WHAT A FANTASTIC PLACE, GREAT FOOD, AND GREAT FRIENDLY PEOPLE, YOUR A CREDIT TO THE U.S.A. :-)
I did go to the Bronx Zoo, good zoo, but NO CHAMS. so if you like Chams. as I do, Dont bother going. But it was a nice day out there. Only sad day of our hols. was visiting "Ground Zero", this, I had to see. GOD BLESS ALL WHO DIED, Sooooo....SAD :-(
(I felt soooo...angry towards the evil (people??) who did this, as a Catholic I am suppose to forgive, but I cannot, SORRY, that's how I feel.
GOD BLESS YOU NEW YORK. YOUR A CREDIT TO THE WORLD.

Col.
