I spoke with a DNR rep. within the last 6 months about acquiring a permit for my american alligator. I figured, since I have him on the phone, I may as well ask about the snakes, JUST INCASE. I dont want my collection getting taken from me, with all the money I've put into it.

He told me there is presently no laws prohibiting posession of large snakes. Rumors of 6', or 11', are not true.... yet. He said there's a lot of tossing around going on, but nothing is set in stone yet. The only laws that do exist are against venomous reptiles, can only be owned with proper permits.

Unless this has changed in the last 6 months, thats how DNR sees it.
