Hi, Here is my understanding of Ca. state law on venomous.
Here is a link to th Ca. fish and game webpage on animal regulations. http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/pdffiles/fg1518.pdf
See page 9 of the pdf. Where it says "except" by the rattlesnakes, it is saying that venomous are illegal "except" the following, which is any of the native Ca. rattlesnake species and sub-species. No permit needed.
I always hear of the "limit 2 of each species" rule, but have yet to find it in writing at the state level. The state law just says "not restricted". I have heard of it at the county level in some counties though. If anyone knows where it is in writing as a state law, could you please post a link?
Albino rattlesnakes may be bred and sold in Ca., no permit needed.
All hots that are not native to Ca. are illegal without a permit, which is not typically given to private citizens.
Dont forget that you must know your city and county ordinances as well.
