Thanks for the info Archie. I would just go anyway but I'm a cop and if I get charged with anything over a class C it could mean my job. That and I don't know how a ticket from a game warden would affect my Controlled Exotic Snake Permit. I just called the game warden in the area that I was planning on going and he told me that his superiors have instructed them to enforce the regulation. I forgot to ask him what class the charge was and didn't really want to call him back so I just decided not to go. I don't want to push the envelope or cause any trouble out there right now, I just don't think it would help anyone. My reason for going would not be to just photograph, I was going to collect a few leps if I found them, which I most likely would in this weather. It's a little difficult to say you're not hunting while your walking along a cut with a giant pair of tweezers and an empty bag. I guess I'll do the same thing I have been doing for the past few years....go fishing, lol. I've been going to Arizona and New Mexico for snake hunting, but it's kind of a far drive for a little overnight trip.
