Hi Drekkel
Yes, you do need a permit for indigenous species. All others are perfectly legal without a permit, for now. NCARK is currently working with the legislature to help prevent a possible ban. You can find lots of information on their website (and hopefully join up): http://www.ncark.org/.
Eyelash vipers are beautiful snakes, but they have particular habitat requirements and their bite can be more serious than some would lead you to believe. If you do enough research on what you need to do to keep them alive and you have the proper tools to "handle" them correctly and safely, they can make a good first hot species. In my opinion, however, they are not the easiest species to start with. Good luck.
