I don't believe caimens are legal in IL. I used to live in Chicagoland and remember reading news stories every blue moon about how they would catch a croc or gator in the Chicago River - they always figured it was released by someone keeping it as a pet.
Based on that, I would think that IL lawmakers would jump on the opportunity to limit rights.
