There are typically two reasons why animals are illegal to own. 1) They are endangered and pet trade will hurt their wild population. 2) if an animal escapes it poses dangers to people or wild life in the area.

In my VERY SMALL town, it is illegal to own my blue tongue skink. Just in my town. It’s illegal. Ten feet across the road it is totally legal. The whole rest of the state it is legal. Wanna know why it is illegal? A man was keeping one, and it bit his stepsons hand when the child literally lifted it by the tail while it was asleep. So now they’re illegal. Because they can use their mouths. What?? I have a skink and a friend of a friend who works in the town hall mentioned that she is illegal. Sorry my stupid dumb lizard potato named Yoshi who has a banana addiction is so scary damn

A little more information on US bans: Hognose (plains or Eastern depending on the state) require a permit because they are endangered. They will never not be endangered because of habitat loss. I don't know of a state that bans them because of venom - and most states that ban one type of Hognose have no bans on others (tricolors, for example). Boigas, on the other hand, often require educator licenses or similar because they have a medically significant venom. On another interesting note False Water Cobras are generally considered medically significant often attributed to a drastic reaction from a keeper that had become hypersensitive to the venom. A non-keeper, outside of very specific circumstances, would probably have less of a reaction.

Ohh. I was sitting here like "I mean ig they could become invasive to things not used to their venom??"

I know I'm a little late to the party, but... I'm from Florida and the "Escaped Burmese pythons killing several babies" story was blown way out of proportion. Firstly, it wasn't "several babies". It was one child. Secondly, the escaped python belonged to the parents of the child. They were keeping the snake in a laundry bag or basket and they already knew it could escape. Plus, cherry on top, the snake was starving and they were just occasionally feeding it road kill. Then Floridians were encouraged to go kill exotic snakes and the news was like, "OH EM GEE. SNAKES ARE GOING TO MURDER US! LET'S GO KILL THEM ALL!!" And this all happened around 2010, I think. Much later than the incident in '92. So before this singular incident happened most people had either forgotten about it or were young people that didn't even know it happened. Trust me, the threat of exotic snakes was not on everyone's mind. I was still pretty young in '92 so I don't remember much of that story. BUT this was back when FL used to get cold and the below-freezing temperatures actually killed a lot of the exotic snakes. I'm not saying non-native animals aren't a threat to the ecosystem, but because of this couple's insane negligence people basically declared war on exotic snakes. Not to mention, an innocent kid died. Luckily, this has calmed down, but people (in Florida at least) have this mindset of "You see a snake, you kill it." Florida has a lot of native snakes. Obviously, many people don't know which snakes are native and which aren't. So people kill our native snakes and think they're doing the world a favor. Sorry this was so long. I just really hate that all these snakes are killed because of peoples' ignorance and arrogance.

Fun fact: it's legal to own an alligator in Michigan. I actually see young ones at the local reptile shows pretty frequently. This is why you end up with those crazy stories of people having an 8ft gator in an apartment basement in Detroit 🐊

I live in FL, and Boa Constrictors and some other large pythons like Scrubs, Olives, Boelen's, Carpets and Bloods are perfectly legal to keep here. There is a small list of "injurious" species you cannot keep without a permit here, which include Burmese Pythons, Reticulated Pythons, African Rock Pythons, Indian Pythons, Nile Monitors, and any species of anaconda. The laws here for venomous are somewhat strict, but I think it is rightfully so. It's a lot of work but if you're passionate about hots in FL, you can get a permit, follow some simple regulations and keep them. (Same with crocodilians) Honestly, for as much havoc invasive reptiles have caused in Florida, I find the laws to be remarkably relaxed. Besides the injurious species, hots, and crocodilians (which all have permits that can be obtained with work), you can keep pretty much anything.

Hurricane Andrew survivor over here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I lived where the eye hit... and funny enough, moved back 10 years ago. That lab didn't only have pythons, it also had several other non-native animals that have been thriving in the ecosystem (different species of monkeys and such). You are correct, we have a MAJOR Burmese python problem. I have literally run one over in the rain and a few days ago one of them decimated the ducks in our community pond. They have an open season on them... and even then... they thrive because one female can lay 100 eggs a year. They also have no known predators... we have many cases of burmese pythons devouring the native alligators... some even die in the process. Tegus and red tail boas are also becoming a major issue. People buy these animals as babies, unprepared to handle them as adults, and then set them free. I literally had to wait 15 minutes for an adult black and white tegu to finish crossing the road. Tegus have no known predators in our area and are voracious egg eaters... meaning that our alligator population is affected by them... so the advice I have received from local conservationists is to shoot them (I don't hunt or own a gun so...). Red Tail Boas, which they suspect became an issue due to the pet trade and owners releasing, affect our opossum populations. This means that our tick populations are increasing as well as lyme disease. The red tail boas haven't reached burmese python status yet but they're expected to if they can't be controlled now.

Spain has recently banned ball pythons cause they're invasive :(

I heard Australia can't have any pet reptiles other than Australian species. On a reptile group on Feb a gal commented she can't keep ball pythons in Australia because of this reason.

There are a few elapids native to the southern US. There are a couple different coral snake species. Although they don’t make antivenin for them anymore. It’s too expensive to produce and coral snake bites are so rare they stopped marking it.

I live in Pennsylvania and you can own any reptile you want as long as it is not a native endangered species.

You discussed what can and can't be kept in Australia and having watched a few of your videos I found it very amusing to hear how expensive shinglebacks are there. In Australia they are so common in much of the country almost no one wants to keep them! Bearded dragons would peobably be the most common and easily kept lizard in this country.

I remember seeing something about how crocodiles or alligators can hibernate and were even documented doing so. They stuck their noses above water and let the rest of their body get frozen over. They were able to stay warm in the water under the ice and were still able to breath. Super fascinating
