If the link doesnt work google IL dangerous animal act, what the definition of life threatening is has not been clearly defined, if you were to get popped with a big snake it would be up to that Judge to decided, the 6/8ft rumor pertains to pet stores only, its a dept of ag stipulation that pertains to retail open to the public regulated pet stores
now the supreme court ruling people talk about states that a 15ft snake is life threatening, the guy had 15ft snakes they determined his were illegal, they did not say anything up to 15ft was safe, they said 15ft and larger are illegal, make sure you understand the differance all the judges in his case could rule on were the animals in front of them, so one judge may find a 12fter to be illegal while another may not, what size is illegal has never been clearly defined
I am by no means a lawyer above is my understanding only your best bet is to consult a lawyer because il is simply communist, Jason in peoria was found guilty of possesion of a threatened species for having an alligator, gators have never been native to IL nor are they protected anywhere in the country anymore but somehow IL regulates species that dont occur here, like I said your best bet is to consult a lawyer
