The law specifically states that Corn Snakes are not allowed REGARDLESS of origin. It is very clear and very specific...look it up on the website. They have a list of reptiles that are specifically prohibited without permits.



Also, Florida Kingsnakes (L.g.floridana or goini)ARE found in parts of extreme southern Georgia right on the Florida border (I have found them myself as well as obvious intergrades with Easterns) and are specifically listed as prohibited.



I wouldn't just take this officer's word for it...call the HQ in Atlanta and be sure. Maybe they are changing their stance...but I wouldn't bank on it.
