The Kansas Dangerous Regulated Animals Act (KSA 32-1301 et seq.) bans private possession of big cats, bears and non-native venomous snakes throughout the state, including unincorporated Johnson County. County animal control and the state enforce.
The Kansas Dangerous Regulated Animals Act (KSA 32-1301 et seq.) draws the line statewide, and unincorporated Johnson County is no exception: private possession of big cats, bears and non-native venomous snakes is banned. Limited permit exceptions exist — generally for facilities rather than pet owners. Enforcement is shared between county animal control and the state. Common exotics outside those categories fall under ordinary animal-control rules, but anything in the big-cat, bear or venomous-snake category is simply off the table for private keepers.
