i have been dealing with colorado fish and wildlife for the last couple of months with a private issue. this is from the law man himself.

it is illegal to buy,sell,trade or barter in or out of co. in any way any indiginous. including nassicus. it is legal to own no more than 4 of each species but the species must be collected in co.

they say that this is the only loop hole to owning native species in co. you can not breed them no matter what.hets,or morphs are only recognized as species not morphs.paper work means nothing species is species.there problem is if some one buys a snake from out of state, say texas or what ever. if the snake gets out survives and has say,,, has worms or some sort of transmitable sickness or disease.

this is straight from the co. f&w lady,

the only reason any native species are alowed in you house in colorado is for the sake of the 10 year old kid who picks up a frog and puts it in his pocket on his way home from school.

if you would like a point in the right direction to who to talk to about this write me a private message and ill give you all the info you might need.

hope this helps.
