There is no county law and no state law. The city code book has a list of animals that you can not have in the city limits. One is

"It shall be unlawful to keep, harbor, own or to in any way possess or control within the corporate limits of the City any of the following animals:
1.

All poisonous animals, which include all poisonous amphibians and reptiles
43. Gila Monsters"

I intend to inform them that Gila Monsters and Beadeds are not a threat to any one in the city expect the owner and even then, not a life threating one. Thanks for all of your help, and if you think of any thing else, e-mail me. Jacob.


:Hi Jacob,
: Don't foget you have to deal with county and state rules and regulations too!
: Get a copy of your city's rules if you are lucky they might not have any thing on lizards.I had a customer that his city covered venomous snakes but there was no mention of lizards.
: Do not count on some city official to quote you the laws!
:Read it! You might be surpised how the city official interpets their laws.If you get the O.K. get it in writing! Keep the original in a safety deposit box and a copy at home!
: Good Luck , Chris
