California restricts exotic pets through the Fish & Game Code and CDFW regulations — ferrets and hedgehogs are illegal statewide, and many wild/exotic species are prohibited. These restrictions apply in Lompoc.
Lompoc doesn't need its own exotic-pet ordinance because California's is comprehensive. The Fish & Game Code and CDFW regulations control which animals can be privately owned statewide, and the list of prohibited species is long — most memorably, ferrets and hedgehogs are illegal in California even though they're ordinary pets elsewhere. Most common reptiles, by contrast, are legal without a permit. The rules apply with full force inside Lompoc, and enforcement is a state matter through CDFW. Before buying any unusual animal, check its status on the state's restricted-species list.
