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.

Legality of Eastern or Texas indigo snake in Ky.
Hey guys, I'm rather new here but not necessarily new to herp keeping and have been giving it serious thought to get back into keeping a few snakes.
I have always wanted to get an Eastern or Texas indigo and finally have the means to do so. I haven't kept any reptiles for the last 3-4 years due to certain reasons however I have been seriously considering getting back into it and one of the snakes that I would love to try to acquire is an Eastern or Texas Indigo.
I am aware of the interstate permit needed to purchase a Couperi from out of state, however I have also read on this site that they are not elligible to be kept in Ky due to their protected/threatened status. I have also however read on Indigosforever.com that there is no limitations for them in the state of Ky. So I was hoping that possibly someone could help on clarifying their legality.
Also if Couperi is not elligible would the same go for Erebennus? I am aware that they are protected in TX but not aware of their overall protection barring them from being kept in other states.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Renesis,
As far as couperi are concerned for your state all that would be required is the interstate commerce permit. For the erebennus no special permit is required unless you live in Texas. I hope you decide to go ahead and obtain some drymarchon, they are remarkable creatures.

Joe that is GREAT news, with that I will probably be moving forward in looking for a black phase male Couperi. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to get one because of their protected status but wasn't sure how well that would play into it.
I greatly appreciate the reply.

Texas Indigos are protected in Texas and NOT allowed to be sold, traded, or bartered.
Possession is not even legal without legal documentation of an out of state purchase unless permitted.

I assume that means you could legally purchase one if the breeding stock was collected before the law was put in place and then everything documented?
Thanks,
Jacob

Ya'll best listen to Mr Cole,what he speaks will keep you out of prison.
Texas (TPW) doesnt play when it comes to jacking with our native Indigo's.

I just found this board...hoping I can be pointed in the right direction? We just purchased 22 acres in South Texas. We have seen several huge Rattle Snakes around our cabin. I have young children and I am frightened of the thought of them being bit! We have researched Rattle Snake predators and I would love to have some Indigo Snakes put out on our land to help control the population of the Rattle Snakes. Is there anyway of buying them if they are going to be put on land to roam freely?
