GA does have a permit system that allows the keeping of Corn Snakes and Eastern King Snakes in Georgia.
You have to document and actually prove a certain amount of classroom hours, educating the public about snakes, each year that you have the permit. Relatively simple, actually, if you are already involved in the local public school systems as an education facilitator.
For non-indigenous venomous there is also a Georgia permit system. The permit, itself, is about $258 per year. The killer is that you have to have proof of $40,000 liability insurance PER ANIMAL up to a maximum of $500,000 coverage.
I do not have either permit, nor either kind of snake (indigenous nonvenomous or nonindigenous venomous), because my current occupation prevents me from routinely being able to provide education opportunities in Georgia for the near future. My time is coming.
