In the state of Georgia you can get an Exhibition Permit. This allows you posess 2 of each native nonvenomous species (nonprotected of course). These animals are to be used for Eduational purposes and you are required to document 12 hours of education each year. The permit runs about $45 I think. You can contact the Scott Frazier at theSpecial Permit Unit of DNR for the paperwork. Upon preliminary approval, a local DNR Biologist will come out to inspect your place.

It was not difficult to get ther permit and Scot is a very nice guy. In fact John Jensen from DNR Nongame Wildlife Division has been pushing for several years to change that law. We are making progress.

So for the time being, a permit is the way to go. Although it won't do you much good if your goal is a cornsnake breeding project or the like.

yes you can get a permit, but you should be able to keep corn snakes with out one. even if the law were just re-worded so the wild snakes can not be harmed or captured would be great olny let collectors have morphs or have prof that they were CB. i just think it is stupid that they alow you to keep, breed, or kill the native hot snake, but you cant keep a corn, yellow rat , or even a bubble gum rat because it is a hybred. it should be the other way around, you should not be able to keep the hot snakes, last time i checked more red necks died of rattle snake bites than rat snake bites. and people kill any snake that they see doesnt matter if it is a little ribbon snake or a 7 foot rattler, and the law says that if you kill or capture a native snake that is not hot that is a $1,000 fine and up to 1 year in jail, for a corn snake. cant even have the green anols for food for kings.

Like I said, they are trying to change the laws and I have been asked to come speak during the hearing. We are at least trying to allow morphs. I could get into why native hots are allowed, but I don't feel like typing that much

The reptile laws in Ga

I am in the process of brain storming ideas to be considered in the petition and the corn snake issue is a major one also
there should be captive breeding programs to release the endangered species of reptiles back in the wild like the alligator snapper turtles for example and gopher tortoise. i also would like to see rattlsnake round ups banned cuz it not only affects them but the animals that share the burrows. i also found an online free petition website. the petition will be posted there once its finalized as well as emailed to people who want to help with it.
the north west ga herpetolical society will be having there first meeting next weekend. i do not know the dates and time yet but I am trying to contact everyone and see what would be best for them.

Carcal baby actually (not mountain lion but easily confused as kits) I am just south of Atlanta actually. I have seriously been considering getting a breeding trio of Striped possums and a pair of Genet Cats but I can't get DNR to reply to my messages! Thanks for your info! Please let me know if you get any new info (if you have the time.)


Thanks,
Mystycal Jywyl
