Caiman Illegal in Pa?

[HaleMoana]

My LFS guy told me that caiman is illegal to sell in Pennsylvania. I'm bummed. I had one about 10 years ago and I was hoping to get another.

I checked the Laws Sticky above, but I saw nothing about caiman. Anyone know where I can get one?

call your local fish and game phone number. they would be able to let you know. and if he said they are then they most likely are

To be honest, I don't really trust this particular LFS guy. Something tells me that his distributor probably doesn't carry them anymore and he's trying to sell me a pirhana or oscar insted. I'll do my research.

I dont know about the entire state but they are not allowed in Philly and one of the shows would be your best bet because you may come in contact with a breeder who likely has taken better care of the caiman than a supplier or even lfs people would have.If you dont mind,could you tell me the name of the store.

They might be illegal in Philly but I've seen them for sale in other pet stores. And I see baby alligators for sale all the time around me.
