Yes, it is true that owning exotic pets without the proper license is against the law. The federal Wildlife Protection Act of 1973, as well as laws in individual states, regulate the sale and possession of certain wild animals as pets. Some species may be banned entirely, while others may require a license and special housing arrangements or permits. It's important to research both federal and local regulations when thinking about adding an exotic pet to your household.
