Dear Jeff, you need to consult with the Alabama Fish & Game or Dept. of Natural Resources agency to get this settled. I checked years ago and I am pretty sure they were not allowed... Yes, there are repatriation projects going on in your fair State. If you can get valid permits, I would be happy to provide you some, but only with the valid permits. Getting a permit is sometimes possible for educators, researchers etc. There are a few states that prohibit possession of any Federally Listed Threatened species and also a few States that prohibit possession of native and/or protected by the State fauna. I think Alabama prohibits possession of Drymarchon couperi, but you should check and get it straight from the enforcing agency/horses mouth. Good luck, they are lot so fun, but may not be feasible in your State. If you have further inquiries in this regard, contact me by PM and I will gladly consider your issue.
