Hello people. I'm new to this site. Well, not exactly, I've have been reading the posts for a good while and just recently signed myself up. Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and see if there are any herpers in Georgia planning any trips soon that I might be able to be a part of. Spring will be here soon so I figured I better start planning now. I live near a small pond where cottonmouths are plentiful and I've even had some baby gator sightings there a few months ago. If anyone is interseted let me know and we can get together sometime.

Why would they be intersted in my hots?! I don't own native harmless snakes (king snakes, corn snakes) or exotic venomous (cobras, gaboons). Native venomous are legal. Everything i have is native to the U.S. And the way it was told to me is that the other venomous snakes are very closely related to the georgia snakes. But thanks for the warning. Ill change my profile a bit!

I believe, with a good amount of certainty that only hot species native to Georgia (not the entire US) are allowed to be kept. As I understand it, this reg. is a concession to the powerful rattlesnake roundup lobby. Perhaps Harper or some of the other Georgians on this site can elaborate!

It is also illegal in Georgia to be selling, or offering for trade, an American Alligator, Caiman, or Crocodile.
If you are not familiar with the Georgia Wildlife Laws, I would suggest that you check out these links.

For what it is worth, there is a Bill now making its way through the GA Legislature that would allow people to keep King Snakes, Corn Snakes, and Garter Snakes.
This might be something you would want to contact your Legislator about and ask him to support this change to the existing law.

Thank you all for the information. I have taken care of everthing now so i am legal. I really had no idea that there was so many illegal animals in Georgia. I know lots of people that have had similar things with no permits so I thouight it was no big deal. But now I know and it will not happen again.
Thanks,
MadJam
