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.

This thread is pretty old, but I have found information regarding the breeding of non native exotics in PA. You have to pay for a permit for each type you will be breeding. It is $150.00 per species. You have to go through the department of agriculture to find out about it.

New laws were passed and took effect on January 1, 2007. It is now illegal to remove native species from the wild or import native species from outside PA. You can not possess, trade, barter, or sell them. The changes do not include morphs. Those in possession of native species in accordance with the laws prior to January 1, 2007, had the opportunity to purchase a permit to maintain that animal. These permits are no longer being issued and can not be transferred to other animals.
You must have a permit to breed and sell reptiles, and their is a separate permit if you sell reptiles you did not produce; however, if you purchase one permit, the other is free and they are good for 5 years. I am attaching a link to the laws.

Also, it is not $150 per species. You need to indicate what species you work with when you apply but there is no limit and you can call them anytime to add/delete species as your projects change.
Mary Bates is the point of contact at the Dept. of Agriculture. Here is a link to an older thread that discussed this subject. Her contact information is there as well as links to the permit applications.

Thanks for correcting the number of Species. We only mess with ball pythons so the permit was only for one species.
