I've heard you need a permit for venomous but I wouldn't think you would need one for green tree pythons.

When James Bear in Deming died from a snake bite, NM Game & Fish filed charges against his wife stating a permit was needed. All of the animals and computers were seized with charges filed against a grieving widow with 3 children. I know this because I was there and I ended taking care of these animals along with Anthony Fish. They wanted to make an example of Jame's wife to let everyone know about this law that no else had ever heard about including pet stores. The state eventually dropped the charges (6 months later)when the Deming District Attorney would not prosecute the case.
