Iowa Laws regarding Fox Snakes?
 

I was having a discussion with a friend and we have found conflicting info on whether or not it is legal to collect the Fox snake from Iowa. Some sites say it is, and one in particular says it cannot. Anyone here from Iowa know the real answer?
Thanks for the help.

Fox Snake in Iowa
 

Yasser,
I know this is a little bit of an old thread, but I have your answer. The Fox snake is pretty common, but it is protected under iowa law making it illegal to collect or kill. Hope this helps
