The town of Essex -- southeast of Windsor -- has banned certain exotic pets.
A new bylaw makes it illegal to own snakes that grow to more than three metres, lizards more than two metres long, monkeys and hybrid wolf dogs.
Windsor-Essex Humane Society director Melanie Coulter says owners often don't have the resources to care for such animals after they buy them.
However, people who already have exotic pets on the list will be allowed to keep them.
