PIJAC
Canada’s Exotic Animal Policy advises against the keeping of snakes with a
length of more than 3 meters. Our Exotic Animal Policy was developed by
industry professionals with the objective to help provinces and
municipalities enact efficient legislation. Since 1997 the policy has
been used across the country and within our Policy, the African rock
python is identified by name, along with six others, as a snake whose keeping
in captivity should be prohibited. The Policy was part of our presentation to the New
Brunswick government in conjunction with a regulatory exercise that lead to the
province’s 2009 regulation update.
As has been reported in various news stories, reptile experts have stated the behaviour of this snake is unusual. These snakes do not normally look to humans as food. That being said, the African rock python in question is well over 3 meter and therefore makes it a prohibited species under our policy and not one to have in a domestic or commercial environment. Like any family who brings a pet into a home, education regarding the care and the local laws must be known whether it be a dog, turtle or snake.
PIJAC Canada provides leadership and
communication between all sectors of the pet industry through resources,
training and advocacy to promote the highest level of pet care. We offer our
recommendations to various levels of government to assist them in developing
safe legislation for the public and pets. Membership to our association
is voluntary, the store in question is not a member. PIJAC Canada remains
available to work with government and businesses to ensure that the pet ownership
experience is a safe and rewarding one.
