I've gone over the admin rules time and again for the new(ish) Illinois Herptile law. I just can't be certain if I'm reading it right that I don't need a hobbyist license if I'm not keeping non-native fauna. I'm considering keeping and breeding Leioheterodon.

If I do need the permit, any experience on how long those permits take to get approved?
 
Yes, here in Illinois, no permit is required to keep, breed and sell non-native, non-venomous herps.

Looks like permits are only needed for IL native herps.

I get that from a quick read of all this:

Yeah, but there are more specifics in the administrative rules. Making me refer back to the original statue has helped though, since it is much clearer there that it's for non-native fauna

I.e. you "don't need a hobbyist license if I'm not keeping native fauna." I think you had an extra negative in there.

I was in a notty mood I guess.
