We got our permit from the VDGIF for our corn snakes last fall. I checked with the US Dept of Ag also but their permits are for pet stores and larger companies that actually have a separate sales area and require an inpection as well as a vet statement and regular vet visits and inspections so we didn't get one from them.

Don't forget to check your local laws (county, city, town, etc) as well. They vary greatly.

Virginians need to be aware of this bill that has been introduced for the 2012 year. If passed, it will ban ALL boas and many pythons as well as a bunch of hots in our state.

As reptile owners, breeders and business owners that support and make a living directly, or indirectly from reptiles in general, and these snakes in particular; we would be well served to fight this in unity.

If you think that just because your reptile of choice is not currently on the list, you need not worry, you are wrong. Based on what has happened in other states, the list will grow and be amended year after year until there is nothing left.

Please make your opinion heard in Richmond, thank you.

From USARK's Facebook Page:

"VA HB1242 Hits Legislative Deadline in Agriculture Sub-Committee. May be held over to 2013, but NOT GOING ANYWHERE in 2012! Kudos to all those in VA who have worked against it!! Today USARK CEO Andrew Wyatt learned from contacts in the VA General Assembly that Delegate Peace will pull HB1242 and possibly hold it over until 2013. This was confirmed by two separate sources.

SB477 is still alive, but will have a more difficult path to follow w/o it's House counterpart. A group of citizens and USARK members opposed to the bill will lobby door to door on Thursday February 2nd. If you would like to join this group email president@usark.org. There Is Strength In Numbers... Protect Your Rights!"

Let's hope this is accurate!

I may have missed it, but did not see this posted in this thread. It is the Administrative Code of Virginia, 4VAC15-30-40. Importation requirements, possession and sale of nonnative (exotic) animals.
