This is a very easy question, I don't even have to look it up. If you are thinking about keeping an exotic, almost any exotic, unless it is lagomorph, reptile, fish, bird, or the occasional more common rodent--basically, if you are thinking about keeping a larger or more unusual exotic mammal, stop that thinking. California has some of the most restrictive exotic pet laws in the country. For some reason, there is worry that, say, the hedgehog will take up some of the resources due our natural fauna. Which natural fauna, you ask? The squirrels? The rats? The mind boggles. But that's the answer.
