Right here in NC. This is where NCARK (formed in 2005 to fight SB 1032) became USARK (currently fighting all bills nationwide). USARK has good relations here and actually beat the animal rights agenda to the punch by making legislation by keepers, for keepers.

Eastern box turtles are the state reptile, and as far as I know are not allowed to be kept for any other reason than that. Shows and pet stores cannot sell aquatic turtles, alligators or venomous and I know of few counties with local ordinances on large constrictors (ie:Orange County/ Chapel Hill area). Stick to rural areas where people mostly mind their own business (IMO). You'll be fine with whatever you keep. Land is cheaper too!!

South Carolina is pretty relaxed as well, especially with hots; but that may change due to pending legislation. I can say for sure, there won't be any proposed reptile laws in NC for a very long time. And your corn snakes are safe here, I promise you that.

Look into it though, in case I might have missed something on SC.



Good luck with your search and I wish you happy hunting. I feel for you and the current Florida situation. My hopes and thoughts for the best go out to all the keepers down there.
