Exotic and wildlife pets in Boynton Beach are regulated by FL Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) under FL §379. Class I wildlife banned as pets; Class II and III require permits.
FWC classifies wildlife into three classes. Class I (large cats, bears, chimps, crocodiles) cannot be kept as personal pets. Class II (cougars, wolves, alligators, ostriches) require FWC permit, caging inspection, and $140 in bonding/experience. Class III (most reptiles, small mammals, parrots) requires a no-cost license to possess. Reticulated pythons, green anacondas, and Burmese pythons are prohibited as pets under the 2010 invasive species rule. Boynton Beach does not add local exotic pet rules beyond FWC.
FWC citations: Class I possession felony; Class II/III without permit $500 and seizure.
