Hello again everyone! Yesterday I took in my newest family member, my three year old Columbian black and white Maynard
He has a harness and leash, and I live near a large beautiful park where I would love to take him to catch some rays, but I'm wondering... What are the laws, if any, surrounding bringing an exotic pet such as a tegu into a public park? Dogs are allowed on a leash, and I'm fairly certain the signs posted just say "pets" must be on leashes, not dogs specifically. Since he would be wearing a leash and harness and I don't think it specifies, would it be okay for me to bring him there? Or would I be hassled or have animal control or someone called? I live in an apartment and there isn't really anywhere I can let him out here. It would be nice for him to continue to get outdoors for a few minutes a day when the weather is nice like he has been accustomed to.
