Petition to change ordinance banning all exotic pets to allow some exotic pets with/without permit. As of right now you can own a vicious and dangerous dog with a permit but not a ball python, ferret, or several other common exotic pets. The goal is to show the city enough people want to own these animals. I aim to at least allow snakes under 6' as well as other animals people commonly keep.

The disparity between existing dog ordinances and the current restrictions on harmless exotic animals continues to be the primary focus of our initiative. I am currently preparing a formal presentation to address the city council regarding these outdated regulations. Your contributions provide the necessary documentation to illustrate that residents desire a more reasonable approach to pet ownership.

The level of public interest in this ordinance review has grown significantly beyond my initial expectations. This momentum indicates a genuine desire among residents to update our local animal code for the better.

Ball pythons and most other exotics cant even survive here if they somehow escaped. This isn't florida, all of Texas is either to hot or to cold all year around for them to survive.

My ball python is harmless and just sits in his tank all day. Its ridiculous that i can walk a pitbull down the street but cant keep a snake at home.
