    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I wanted to know if you are required to obtain a license to own a venomous snake? I am located in texas, I know laws differ from state to state. I am not looking to breed or sell the reptiles. I would appreciate any info. Thanks.
 
These are the guidelines I used when shipping hots:

Texas:



Native Venomous: No permit required



Exotic Venomous: No permit required



Protected Native Venomous: Permit required

Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)

Got to watch out for those county and city laws. Talk to animal control, see if they know.

I believe there is a venomous allowed show in San Antonio, check out texasreptiles.com.
