<strong>Wisconsin</strong> <strong>Reptile</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Amphibian</strong> <strong>Laws</strong><br />
The primary objective of this page is to provide the <strong>Wisconsin</strong> herpetological <strong>and</strong> herpetocultural<br />
community with a comprehensive, ongoing, <strong>and</strong> up to date listing <strong>and</strong> resource on local municipal<br />
ordinances throughout <strong>Wisconsin</strong> pertaining to the keeping of exotic or nonnative reptile, amphibian,<br />
<strong>and</strong> invertebrate species. This listing does not include federal <strong>and</strong> international legislation <strong>and</strong><br />
regulations intended for the collection, transport, <strong>and</strong> possession of federally or globally threatened,<br />
endangered, or otherwise protected species. There may also be applicable zoning ordinances pertaining<br />
to the keeping <strong>and</strong> breeding of animals (or certain genra of animals) in your municipality that the<br />
specific details of which will need to be researched separately. This listing also assumes all applicable<br />
statewide regulations <strong>and</strong> restrictions pertaining to all species indigenous to <strong>Wisconsin</strong>, which can be<br />
