I've been breeding corns for over 10 years, but I'm wanting to start working with other colubrids, some of which are native IL species/subspecies.



Does anyone know what the legality is on buying/breeding/selling native IL snakes within the state? How would that relate to morphs (amel prairie kings, white-sided black rats, locality bulls, etc)?



I've seen many of these at the tables of vendors at the Tinley show (even emory rats which are listed as state-threatened), but didn't want to risk a huge fine or jail time on that.



I've have tried looking it up on the IDNR website, but it isn't exactly clear on a lot of things.



Thanks.
