Oregon has no laws ( that i have found) restricting what herps you can own.

That's pretty specific, lol. It's also reasonably sane, targeting animals that may naturalize in Oregon if released, or which have caused problems in other areas, and allowing pretty much everything else. And you can have all the numbats you want. O_o

Consider Texas...

Permit required for hots; native threatened and endangered species cannot be kept or sold (not sure if permit overrides that). Any hunting license allows you to take native alligators...hmm.

Don't quote me on this, but last I looked into it, Alabama is fairly relaxed. There are a handful of state-protected native herps, some of the main ones are the black pine snake and the eastern box turtle. Also, you require a permit to own exotic hots, but not for native ones.

Again...I could be wrong as I hadn't looked into it in a while.

Must rescind my recommendation for TX...

I recommended TX a few weeks back but I just got new info. There are cities (1 of them just to the north of me - Denton) that apparently do not allow you to own any kind of boa or python. Not even a ball python! Sounds like this ignorance is also spreading to other parts of the state, unfortunately.

Oklahoma...The main laws you have to worry about is city laws. Other than that you can keep just about what ever you want. If they are not native to Oklahoma none of the game wardens seem to know what the restrictions are on exotics (i have asked alot of them)

I heard (or read) where a city law prohibited him from keeping certain snakes, but statewide there was no restrictions, etc. He took it to court and they allowed him to keep them stating that the statewide stance on the matter took precedence over the city laws.

For the life of me, I cannot remember where I came across that. But if true, it could mean that the city laws don't mean jack if the state says it's okay.

Any thoughts or additional insight on this?
