Mike, I looked it up to prove you wrong, and found out I was

wrong as well



You must register any snake over 8ft long, not 6. You must register them with the local sheriff's office. (Note, many offices will not know what you are talking about.)



Here's the text, and link.

Chapter 578

578.023. 1. No person may keep any lion, tiger, leopard, ocelot, jaguar, cheetah, margay, mountain lion, Canada lynx, bobcat, jaguarundi, hyena, wolf, bear, nonhuman primate, coyote, any deadly, dangerous, or poisonous reptile, or any deadly or dangerous reptile over eight feet long, in any place other than a properly maintained zoological park, circus, scientific, or educational institution, research laboratory, veterinary hospital, or animal refuge, unless such person has registered such animals with the local law enforcement agency in the county in which the animal is kept.



2. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.
