You basically need to follow the stricter of the two. If a federal law says that all venomous snakes are illegal...the state cannot say they are legal with a permit. That is why the federal courts don't usually spend their time with these matters...and it would be wishfull thinking to even think a permit system could be implemented there. But I could easily see if the problem got to the point where there needed to be federal regulations (bans) for the point of public safety...that might happen. But probably not...not when we have really important things like gay marriage to think about.
Mine line of thinking was that if there already was a strict system at the federal level...it would reduce the need for state regulation with bans (of course in state which do not have a ban already...precidence). But it seems people do not agree.
