Here is the link to the Michigan Legislature word searches work well unless you know the specific law your looking for.

http://www.michiganlegislature.org/

This for the DNR and the link for list of laws pertaining to the DNR both compiled and pending.

http://www.michigan.gov/dnr

http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7...861---,00.html

You need to have a license to take or possess any reptile native to the state of MI. The following are illegal to take or possess: black rat snake, eastern fox snake, copperbelly watersnake, kirtlands snake and massasauga rattlesnake.

Exotics (species not native to MI) are handle through the Dept of Agriculture

http://www.michigan.gov/mda

In a phone conversation there are laws that pertain to owning of exotics, but seem to be for lions, tigers,(nothing to do with the sports teams LOL) non native bears. Breeding may need a license depending on the distribution channels of the clutch(sales to pet shops versus sale to direct consumer) but nothing set in stone to reference.

I will post more as I can gather some information.
