Dave was right that cobras are illegal and that you cannot "sell" or "trade" any venomous across state lines. You can capture and keep within state lines.
So just for reference check the applicable herp laws (especially with venomous) before hand. We all make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and you wont make them again.

nicolai said:Do you people see what we are doing to each other? Instead of helping each other out and learning from one another you are out to condemn each other for anything and everything. No wonder all the states want to pass more and more herp laws, we cant even get along ourselves and help each other out. Dont you think there are state agencies watching forums like this and going to use them as examples of whats going on in the herp world and use them to pass more laws and end up banning us from keeping anything.
Maybe if they see us working together to improve things and learn from each other they will say " why pass more laws they are improving the way things are done themselves".
Instead of saying " you ****ed up and I am going to get you" try saying something to the effect of "what you did was wrong but you could do this which would be legal and safe"
Lets not not fight amongst each other... there are already enough reptile haters out there looking to ruin it for us already.
