I had no idea that the reputation of venomous reptiles had gotten this bad. While applying for a very hard to get permit to keep eyelash vipers in Las Vegas Nevada, I was told to bad you don't want to keep one of the animals listed in Nac 503.140, it is a lot easier to fulfill the requirements to keep them, than a venomus snake.
so here is list of animals that do not require any permits or licenses from this department.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4 and NAC 503.500(pertain to fish) to 503.535 (pertain to fish), inclusive, the following animals may be possessed, transported, imported and exported without a permit or license issued by the Department:
(a) Canaries;

(cc) Alpaca (Lama pacos);
(dd) Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris);
(ee) Old World species of pheasants, partridges, quails, francolin, peafowl and jungle fowl (nonendemic species of the subfamily Phasianae), except:
(1) Chukar partridge;

(4) Ring-necked and white, winged pheasant;
(ff) Domesticated races of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), distinguished morphologically from wild birds;
(gg) Domesticated races of ducks and geese (Anatidae), distinguished morphologically from wild birds;
(hh) Domesticated races of chinchillas;

2. Species listed in this section must not be released into the wild, except as otherwise authorized by the Department in writing.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, lawfully acquired species listed in this section may be sold in Nevada.

Yes, venomous reptiles are much more dangerous to keep than Elephants....I can get my Elephant to ride the hook all the time and it never bites...RIGHT! I see PETA & ALF have not visited the State Legislature yet, when they do all of those animals on the list will be banned too. Just a matter of time.
Maybe time to move to a reptile friendly state.
Good luck,
Al

I wish to thank you all for the invitations but I own a 12,000 acre ranch in Butte Montana, a 4000 acre ranch in Lubbock Texas and a 100 acre ranch in San Diego California, I don’t think I will be homeless any time soon. LOL. The point is that I can have Monkeys and other primates IE (baboons) ; Elephants; All felines, except mountain lions and bobcats; IE (African lion, jaguar, leopard) and Wolves, easier than I can a venomous snake. I mean gee, how could any of these animals be dangerous?

It never makes any sense, simply because legislators drafting these regulations, rarely have any expertise in animal husbandry to make an educated guess as too what is or isn't dangerous.
Even when the data available indicates that captive snakebites in the U.S. are statistically, a non-factor, this never gets looked at when laws are passed banning venomous snakes in captivity. The legislators simply listen to the animals rights groups and activists, and that's it.
