Rusty,

Harald's post above is correct. To obtain a venomous permit (which is required to possess even one venomous snake) in the State of Florida, one must have a minimum of one year's experience within the family(s) of venomous reptiles for which the permit is requested and a minimum of 1,000 hours. This has to be documented. Two letters of recommendation by individuals having personal knowledge of your experience are also required along with a $100.00 permit fee.

A $1,000.00 bond is required to exhibit venomous reptiles and other permits are required to sell these animals. I understand that FL Game & Fish sometimes peruse these pages, so if you do not possess the proper permit, I would suggest that you get rid of the cobra.
