Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I would guess your local DNR would have all the information you would need.

If you know nothing about keeping venomous reptiles, then perhaps you should be researching the topic thoroughly before jumping in and getting a permit. You need to apprentice for a number of years under an educated and responsible keeper.

you know, i could take this all the wrong way and think you all have a chip on your shoulder towards me, but i know your just trying to prevent me from being another reason people try to outlaw ownership of such animals with a stupid manuver.
however, your telling me i need to do research, when im coming here to ask questions as ive tried to do research and have come up with nothing so i came here to ask. noticed how i asked if there were classes i could take? i didnt just ask how to get the permit and want a snake, i asked how to go about doing this if i decide i want too. i hear its not cheap and as youve all confirmed does require classes or appretince.
in this day and age of the goverment wanting to come and possibly tell me i cant keep my retics and burms, i wouldnt even joke about the prospect of me being a "darwinism award" winner. not that i take offense im just sayin, careful what you wish for

It's not about wishing for anything, least of all someone getting hurt even if the person in question should be required by law to wear a helmet at all times or if he is just an overenthusiastic underachiever. Either way, in this day and age when said person cannot find simple information on the internet said person should not own venomous snakes, play with matches or (please for the rest of society) reproduce.

those responses seemed pretty harsh. ill tell ya, my first 3 snakes ever in my life were 3 17 foot or bigger retics, my next was a timber rattlesnake. all of them were going to be given up (or possibly just released knowing my old "friends"), so i offered to take them. it was the best experience i could have asked for. that was quite a long time ago. lookin back, it wasnt the smartest thing for a young kid to do, but i did it. i see absolutely nothing wrong with obtaining any snake that is legally able to be kept. however, i cant stress enough to do as much research as you can (its just like anything else, you can read about it until you are blue in the face, but experience is where you learn the best and quickest), and buy cbb babies from reputable breeders/people. whether its a hot or a large constrictor species, getting cbb babies will generally produce easier handling babies, generally disease free, and you get to grow with your snake as it does. learn the very subtle ways of them. just do your research as best you can, be prepared with whatever you decide, provide it with ideal and optimal housing and feeding conditions, and most of all, use your God given natural common sense.
good luck with whatever you decide to do or get
