>>Also the state would have to inforce it, and make atleast once a year "check up's" on anyone with a permit, and if they no long have the snake in question, then they had better have proof of it's sale, death, what ever, or face a year in jail.
Here in Florida the FWC does not even check licensed venomous keepers each year... so, the real issue become how to pay for the new service of thousands of annual onsite inspections? I'm not sure a $500 permit fee would even cover that... It would likely require multiple officers, vehicles, etc... probably not enough interest on their part to even do this. I'm against more regulation personally as the 'underground' market would likely still flourish if strict enforcement were not performed (which would likely be the case in my opinion). Who knows in the end...
