Is there a source that lists laws by state. We are debating a move and, as I'm in business for
myself, the choices are pretty open except for our hobby/obsession.
There is a link to one in the links section of the SHHS site, but it seems to be a bad link.
Thanks!

Thanks Marty: I have been looking everywhere for that Darn List, I know at one time Coastal Reptiles had that List on their Web Site, wonder if they are using the same one?

Its not as much state law as much as it is local law. There are several small towns around San Antonio and each one has VERY different laws. One says no venomous, one doesn't matter, and another specifically mentions which Genus is illegal. I would look up the official websites of the cities you're interested in and look under thier animals laws first. If they say nothing, check with the state then.

True, but if we moved to a state where you were required to have a permit for everything we have, it wouldn't matter what the local laws said, would it?
I understand that we could find a local situation where things were prohibited, or that permits were required. We live just outside Houston. Houston means NO venomous and NOTHING that CAN grow to over 8 feet long. That means that we have virtually NOTHING that would be legal in the city limits.
I just wanna know what states to avoid if possible. Then we can worry about local requirements.

"True, but if we moved to a state where you were required to have a permit for everything we have, it wouldn't matter what the local laws said, would it?"
It would matter, even if the state law requires a permit and you have it, the county or city law may not allow any venomous or large constrictors. So the permit would be useless. The most restrictive law applies. The only option you would have is to live outside of the city limits or in a different county.
The best way to find out would be contacting the local DNR or Fish and Game.

You guys crack me up...and you SO miss the point...
If I stick with states that do NOT require ANY permits...I, AT THE VERY LEAST, have SOME chance of finding a city/county that I can live in without permitting.
Conversely, I will NOT be able to find a city/county that I can go permitless in a STATE that REQUIRES permits.
ie: I stand a better chance of finding a permitless city/county in a state that DOESN'T require permits than I would looking in a state that DOES.
SO...if I want a no-permit city/county I need to look in a no-permit STATE, right?
All I wanted was somewhere to find those states.

Texas:
Native Venomous: No Permit required
Exotic Venomous: No Permit required
Protected Native Venomous: Permit required
Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)
Also, Duane A. Schlitter, Ph.D of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department visits most of the TX herp societies' meetings, and the dept is friendly and open-minded.
I'm a Texas hot snake keeper. I'm spoiled. :^)
Lousiana looks good, and I can visit my mom more often. ;^)
