Actually, I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but the intent of the law - according to what I have been told by the "big guys" at TPWD is "exotic to the US." Not just exotic to Texas. You need it for a cobra, but not a red rattlesnake. Rd rattlesnakes are not regulated under this Texas permit. TPWD doesn't have the authority to regulate exoticsUNLESS there is a special law about it...and THIS particular law was intended to only apply to venomous NOT found within these United States naturally.
