Hello, i was wondering if anyone has detailed info, on regulations On Owning , Gila monster in Los Angeles ? Can they be shipped ? Is any license required to have them as pets ?

I couldnt find much info online and California fish and game website did not help much.

Thank you in Advance
 
California state law requires a permit which is very difficult to obtain. I have serious doubts that you will be successful on the basis of wanting a "pet". Last I heard the number of permits issued to individuals not undertaking bonafide research or conservation endeavors were very few indeed.
You are allowed to own Beaded Lizards in California, however I would strongly suggest checking with the proper city officials to see if it is allowed in your particular city of residence.
Above all else, keep in mind these animals are venomous with the potential to cause considerable pain and medical expense should you suffer a bite.
