Laws in Iowa

I've tried contacting Fish and Wildlife but i keep getting forwarded to other places and no has answered my question. What i wanted to know was if you keep captive bred hognoses in Iowa. I know it says your not supposed to 'kill or collect' but does that apply to just the wild ones or is it Hognose snakes in general?

Thanks.

Forget to add 'can'. XP

No one?

It is my impression that in many states you can keep CB varieties of reptiles but not "collect" them if they native to the state. For instance, many states will not allow you to hunt and capture Gopher Snakes, Bulls, Pines, Kings etc. You can buy them, breed them
and sell them but you can't remove any wild caught snakes from their natural habitat and areas.
