Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Illegals in NYC
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' ?

Check this out: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/download...article161.pdf
No grandfathering provision as far as I know. The list is not thought out well. It bans all members of Iguanidae. That's aimed at the green iguana, but includes anoles too! All monitors and pythons are banned, despite the fantastic small types of both. Oh, you can't have an elephant or a whale either. Yes, they are specifically on the list. -Larry in NYC

^awww.
i remember seeing PYGMY (not pencillata) MARMOSETS and pure asian leopard cat kittens kept in bird cages and fish tanks (respectively) in a couple Chinatown pet shops.
of course, that was back in the 90s. boy have things changed alot in a couple decades! (not that they were legal back then, anyways)

Good article.. Lmao.. Basically any boa, python, native, iguanid, venomous, monitor are all illegal in the 5. As well as any animal at least 50% (may be wrong) wild hybrids (basically zoo animals and the wolf hybrid dogs, wild cat hybrids) There is also regulation on birds and fish if I remember correctly. If a theft was to occur, I know I wouldn't report it. Lol just cut my losses as the fines are not cheap. But I'm not in the city, so it doesn't all apply.
