I was reading the post here and wanted to add my own quip. If you are a teacher you can get a special liscence to possess corn snakes and eastern kingnsnakes. If you have the time to go through special permits you can get a license to have corn snakes and king snakes. If you are traveling through the state of GA according to their laws you have to have a permit to get through legally. If you find a rattle snake, its yours to keep no questions asked. If you find a corn snake walk away.
The state of GA claims that their laws are to protect their animals, but you cannot go down a rural road with out seeing about 5 freshly killed corn snakes on the road. It is ok to kill the snake but not to keep it. If you have a rehab license for reptiles you can also keep corn snakes but only if you register them with DNR.

There is a petition out right now, if you were to google ga corn snakes permit you should find it.
