I grew up on the east coast (Georgia) and now I live in So Cal. I recently spoke to an exotic pet shop owner that I get my mice from about Canebrakes. I was telling him how I would like to acquire one by either going back east and catching one or buying one and having it shipped. He told me that catching one would be illegal because they are now on the protected list. I haven't heard anything like this. Is this true? He is from California and may not be current on the standing of Canebakes so I thought I would ask any of you that currently live where Canebrakes live.
Thanks
Clayton

From what I know C. horridus is proteced in most of its nothern range but I don't know about the southern laws. Just go on yahoo and look for the state wildlife webpages they should help a bit.
I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to keep exotic venomous in California. And by exotic I mean any species or subspecies that does not occur naturally in the state. In other words I think canebrakes/timber are illegal to have in California.
Hope this helps. But still don't trust every thing you hear from someone on the internet.....get your info in writing from a valid wildlife or government link, to keep youself out of trouble. Good luck.
T.C.

They do not seem to be protected in Florida (no protected venomous in fact).

Venomous reptiles (and lots of other non-native animals) require a permit in Cali, but I know nothing about how hard they are to get.

T.C. you are right about the exotics being illegal to possess in California. I was under the impression that by exotic they meant foriegn to the U.S. I called California Fish and Game and they said that it had to be native to the state and no more than two of each species. Sometimes these laws are a little difficult to understand. Thanks

It is not illegal in Georgia and I think in might be on the threaten list in South Carolina. Check out Mardi Snipes www.coastalrepitles.com there is a section about venomous reptiles and the law. That has some good infomation. I know that Edb are on the list in SC.

As of now it is legal to collect C. horridus atricauatus or any venomous native specie to GA you just cant take or collect nonvenomous such as kingsnakes redrats etc.. The Crotalus adamanteus in SC is of State Special Concern but there is no law that prohibits anyone from collecting , killing, or keeping them except on public lands like refuges, stateparks etc., Canebrakes are fairly common in SC coastal plain & they are not protected in SC aswell as GA. However taking wildlife accross state lines by vehicular transport is in violation of the Lacey Act but its hard to enforce.
Hope this helps
