yah, looks like you are restricted to just having one, maybe 2 if your girlfriend agrees. not sure i would try breeding. i read about a guy (in colorado?) a couple years back getting busted for westerns. there was a local law that allowed him to keep up to 10, if i remember correctly. when they bred, took him over the limit. i would be cautious on that part...

orangeheterodon, to my knowledge that information is not up to date or correct. i also live in florida. in 2010 the state of florida repealed the need for a state permit to keep easterns. they just uphold federal regulations now. so... you can legally have easterns if they are cb and you have the proper documentation. i was told this several years ago by the owner of the serpentatium. dale also got a pair a couple years ago and posted about it on the indigo forum. i was curious and spent a handful of hours on the phone tracking down the truth for myself... i would call fwc and they would usually say right off the bat, "it is illegal to own eastern indigos in florida" to which i would respond, "i have been told that florida repealed the regulations on a state level. please give me the current laws and send me a copy." then they would backtrack... "um..um.. well..." and then give me the number to someone else. my last call was to the federal agency in georgia that issues wildlife permits. she informed me that, "it does appear that florida did not enforce state laws on them. i need to adhere to federal laws, get an interstate transport permit, and have all my ducks in a row if i'm going to keep easterns in florida." she then emailed me a link for applying for a federal interstate transport permit. since then i have gotten married and my wife doesn't like large snakes at all! i'm going to try and work on her this year and see about getting a pair or red throats
