Other than the native rubber boa (which I know you are not considering) there appears to be no restrictions on boas or pythons in the state of Utah.



The administrative rules governing reptile possession in Utah are promulgated by the Division of Wildlife Resources under the Department of Natural Resources. The administrative code to reference is R657-53 (www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r657/r657-053.htm).



Prior to May 2007, this administrative rule stated that any species not listed in the table of restricted animals was "non-controlled" (a misnomer to be sure, as there is regulation exerted over "non-controlled" ). Hence, all boas and pythons (including rubber boas) were non-controlled.



After May 2007, the regulation wording does not define un-listed species as "non-controlled". There does not appear to be any regulation classifying or otherwise addressing the possession of boas or pythons (other than rubber boas).



In Utah, we have both ballpythons.com (Sutherlands) and boaconstrictor.com (Stone) conducting business.
