    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

No permit is needed for a Texas Indigo however my understanding is that they are illegal to keep in Texas. There's actually no permit needed to KEEP an Eastern either. Easterns require a USDI permit for interstate transfer/commerce. They are also illegal to keep in some states.
 
Actually

It is illegal to keep / breed D. couperi within Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina and Virginia without special state level permits. You will also be required to obtain a USF&W interstate commerce permit prior to obtaining a D. couperi from a source outside of your own state of residency.
As for D. m erebennus, the species is granted protection by the state of Texas only, so no permits are required for such unless you reside within the "Lone Star" state, in which case, you would be required to obtain a permit to keep D. m erebennus from the state of Texas, which are close to impossible for an individual hobbyist to obtain. Also, there has been some discussion regarding the legality of keeping any Drymarchon spp. in Texas, as it has been mentioend that the regulations protect D. m erebennus at the genus level, not just the species and sub-species level, which technically means, all members of the Dry clan would be off limits to those residing within Texas...

Best of luck to you,

Jeff
