Hey Mark, I am thinking on relocating farther out I-70 somewhere.... How are the Boidae laws in indiana? I have Boas and ball pythons... Denny

Denny,

The only restrictions are on venomous and native species.

The link below is the proposed bill. It will drastically affect everyone that keeps:

1. Venomous reptiles.

2. Crocodilians.

3. Constrictor snakes that have the potential to exceed six (6) feet in length.

4. Komodo dragons, water monitors, and crocodile monitors.

If we do not address this we will always wish we did. This bill states that any animals that fall into the descriptions above will have to have a $100 per animal permit. Those that violate these guidelines listed in the bill can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!!!

Please check out the links at www.degei.com and contact your senator immediately.

Exotic animals. Makes it a Class C misdemeanor to knowingly or intentionally release an exotic or wild animal into the wild without legal authorization or a permit issued by the department of natural resources (department), and provides that the fine for unlawfully releasing an exotic or wild animal is at least $500 and not more than $2,500. Requires a person in the business of selling exotic reptiles to obtain a permit from the department, and makes it a Class C misdemeanor to knowingly or intentionally sell an exotic reptile without a permit. Requires a person not in the business of selling exotic reptiles to notify the department before selling an exotic reptile, and makes the failure to notify the department a Class C infraction.
