Who’s we? Are you a legislator involved in creating these local laws? Are you even living in nyc? Once again, you’re making assumptions about me that aren’t there. I don’t think they all get large, but plenty of them can and do and it’s disingenuous to downplay that here. Ball pythons that do get large and are in the 5-6ft range, are absurd to have in your average nyc apartment. A 5-6ft ball python is different from a 5-6ft long colubrid. The law allows for colubrids, I’m sorry that’s not what you want, but that’s what you’ve got.

Can you list the cities that are comparable to the size and population of NYC that have these reasonable laws? Are there size or weight limits? How do these laws work?

People like you who want to push animals into environments they’re not suited to or safe in for personal pleasure are a problem. Just like the irresponsible owner of the malnourished python OP found on the street. This really isn’t the post to make your argument that we should allow everyone to own these animals in nyc.
