Hello Dan,

Thank You very much! ...and for the prompt response like everyone else (I keep thanking for this because the last post on this forum looked to be from June LOL so I didn't think much traffic occurred on here). This is promising, for as far as I know, anywhere else in the country that herps are legally sold out of pet stores, they can also be legally kept. And while responding to Tim's response, I happened to catch on ALASKAHERPS.INFO--the link I provided, ha!--that:

"A variety of exotic reptiles have on occasion been reported in Alaska, usually as escaped pets near populated areas. Examples include a rubber boa, garter snake, and bull snake in Juneau, and a snapping turtle near Anchorage."

...which could further indicate even more various herps are (legally) sold and kept in AK.

Thanks again!!

Sincerely,
Timothy

>>I dont know for sure if you need permits to keep certain snakes in Alaska, but I do know pet stores there sell them. A friend of mine lived there last year & told me about the Colombian boas & carpet pythons he saw for sale in petstores.
