You don't need any permits to keep native venomous reptiles in Georgia. A city might have an ordinance against it though.

Actually, if you had visited the Georgia Department of Natural Resources you would know ALL pit vipers and coral snakes can't be held without a license. Same with local snakes.
Here's the link:

I suggest you research next time before you give someone the go-ahead.

You are incorrect SNOPES. Native venomous species do NOT fall under those regulations and those species I listed CAN be kept without a permit. I would suggest you call DNR to verify.
