i have a copy of the the letter sent to dale from angela williams of the florida fish and wildlife agency stating that florida no longer does i also spoke to her and about 5 other fwc agents on the phone.



that is old and outdated information my friend. people are stating info for how it used to be. feel free to file for an educational permit now and see what kind of response you get. it will be denied...



here is a quote from angela william's of the fwc letter...



"The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Division of Habitat and Species Conservation, Species Conservation Planning Section has reviewed your application dated 11/28/2012 requesting authorization to possess an Eastern indigo snake under a Scientific Collecting permit. Your application requests authorization to take or incidentally take species that are protected by the USFWS Endangered Species Act (ESA). Previous rules required both a state [FWC] permit as well as a federal [USFWS] permit for ESA species occurring in Florida. According to newly revised Rule 68A- 27, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), effective November 8, 2010, “… take of Federally designated Endangered and Threatened Species [does] not require a permit from the Commission[FWC] when authorized by [the federal agency] …” Hence, you are no longer required to obtain a state [FWC] permit from this office for any of the targeted ESA species. "



end point... some people are so afraid of what could be that they decide to never exercise there rights. many will also state hearsay. that is why i did my own research and found facts
