Hey...As you probably know, I live in TX.

In probably the worst place to live for exotics of any kind.

That's why I kind of want to move to a different county.

I currently live in Ft. Bend, and I was thinking of maybe Montgomery.

I'd like any experience from people

Only a few years ago, ferrets were illegal where I live.

Now I have a question that does not pertain to snakes or other herps.

I've read this:

"Exotic animal possession that requires this license are animals that are classified as danger(ous) wild animals."

These animals are:

"Lions, ocelots, leopards, tigers, cougars, cheetahs, bobcats, jaguars, servals, lynxs, hyenas, caracals, coyotes, bears, baboons, jackals, orangutan, chimpanzee, gorilla or any hybrid cross offspring of these animals."


Does this mean I'd have to acquire a permit for any of these animals listed below?
  • Kinkajou
  • Coatimundi
  • Tamarins (Red handed or Emperor)
  • Wallabies
  • Ringtail Cats (I've heard that you have to have a fur propagation license.)
  • Asian Leopard Cats
  • Red, Arctic, or Fennec Fox
