Unless you fall into one of the following categories you will NOT be receiving a permit to keep venomous (or as Illinois law calls them, “poisonous”) reptiles.
(720 ILCS 585/1)
Sec. 1. No person shall have a right of property in, keep, harbor,
care for, act as custodian of or maintain in his possession any
dangerous animal except at a properly maintained zoological park,
federally licensed exhibit, circus, scientific or educational
institution, research laboratory, veterinary hospital or animal refuge
in an escape-proof enclosure.
(Source: P.A. 84-28.)
