I have family that live in Pennsylvania and i thought they had also banned degus and Chinchillas as well as some other small pets. Which if true I don't understand the logic behind it or any of the animals you listed on the ban. My family have reduced their pets to strictly dogs and cats and a few livestock animals they treat as pets. Which brings up another point. Many types of farm animals are not indigenious, are they considered exotic. Ostriches, Emus, Alpacas just to name a few. They might not be considered pets, but they can still kill or harm people.
