You can`t have the following pets in New York State: “Many roadside zoos or zoos that are not adequate in terms of their ability to handle animals with modern zoological standards have USDA licenses, and that doesn`t necessarily qualify or make them prime candidates to house some of these dangerous exotic animals.” Wikenhauser said.
Are hedgehogs, pythons, chinchillas, turtles, cockatoos, ferrets, skunks, chameleons, capybaras or pigs legal in Washington State? For the most part, exotic animals are illegal in Hawaii. These include bears, big cats, wild canines, hybrids of feral cats and wild dogs, kangaroos, wild cattle and deer, birds of prey, alligators, geckos and most lizards, hedgehogs, gerbils, hamsters and ferrets. Pets allowed include guinea pigs, chinchillas, pet mice and rats, parakeets and pigeons. Within Waupaca`s city limits, residents can legally have a queue less than 10 feet long, but because Vickery lives outside the city, there are no regulations, he said.

Various efforts have been made in the state legislature to ban some exotic animals, but all have failed. Nevada bans certain aquatic species, all foxes, some other native species, and some reptiles. Everything else works! Wolves, big cats, primates, elephants, ect.

Please do your research before going out and buying an exotic animal. They may seem cool and cute at first, but most of them can be potentially dangerous and confiscated if you`re not careful. Almost all exotic animals require a lot of work to take care of and are extremely complicated. If you think you can get one and tame it, you may be able to, but remember that 1) it will definitely take a long time, 2) they may never trust you, and 3) even if you tame it, they will still have their natural instincts that can come into play at any random time. For example, if you have an undomesticated cat and let`s say you stumble, that cat`s natural instincts can come into play and it could very well kill you. The last thing I`m going to say is that if you get one and realize that you`re not willing to invest the time, resources and energy, and decide to get rid of it, it`s likely to go somewhere where they die slowly or euthanized, at best, they`ll go to the rescue where they turn out to be someone else`s problem. There are also many other reasons why you shouldn`t get one, depending on type, condition, etc., if you think about everything, and you`re willing to spend thousands of dollars, never go on vacation, etc. Then they can be very interesting and amazing “pets”. If you are not ready to devote a large part of your life to an exotic animal, but still want a pet, I have good news for you, dogs, cats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, other small mammals, red-tailed boas and other non-venomous snakes (except retics, anacondas, pythons bisopestres, etc.). Lizards like a black-throated monitor lizard, tegus, even a bearded dragon are absolutely fantastic pets, they are still quite “exotic” and are much more rewarding.
Good luck in everything you do. And please, do your research. 🙂 (1) Property of the owner. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 3, the person who owns the wild animal shall be the legal owner of a live wild animal kept in captivity or the carcass of a wild animal kept in captivity, provided that the person complies with this Chapter and the rules adopted pursuant to this Chapter. A person holding a legal instrument may, without consideration, transfer the live wildlife kept in captivity or the carcass of the wildlife kept in captivity to a person who complies with this Chapter and the rules adopted under this Chapter. A person who has the legal right to have a wild animal alive in captivity can kill it or have it killed humanely. In addition to federal laws governing the ownership and treatment of animals, each state has certain prohibitions or restrictions on which exotic animals can be owned as pets. Whether you already own an exotic pet, are considering buying one, or have been injured by another pet, contact a personal injury attorney to better manage your state`s exotic pet laws. I can only confirm that it is illegal for a person to own undomesticated cats, primates, crocodiles, alligators and wolves in New Mexico. The State may admit other animals under difficult conditions.
One source says deer are legal without a permit. A small species of popular domestic deer is the muntjac. This state was somewhat exotically friendly, but then they stopped issuing licenses to pet owners. You categorize exotic animals, and you have to call to find out what the law is. But all equines, including zebras, are legal and only need a veterinary control certificate if they are imported. While some of these animals are forbidden for stupid reasons (I`m looking at you and your attitude towards ferrets, California), some of these animals are forbidden for good reasons: amateur pet owners don`t have the experience to properly care for these non-domestic animals. Finding a veterinarian who can treat a rabbit can be quite difficult. Can you imagine finding someone who can treat a tiger? Delaware state law requires permits for most wild mammals and hybrids.

Possession of non-native venomous snakes is illegal. In addition to prohibitions and restrictions on exotic pet ownership, most states have some sort of permit, license, or registration requirement to own certain animals. For example, in Vermont, you need a permit to own an anaconda, but not to keep an alligator. Idaho requires a permit for tigers and other “exotic pests.” 4.
