well if the point is to legally keep them, I like the idea of using other common names that are less intimidating. Your also more likely to get a representative of DNR to sign off on one particular species then to get them to address rear-fanged snakes in general. I think the laws leave a lot to interpretation, so how you present the snake will certainly affect their attitude. I think most of are content with the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, but it's nice to be able take your snake out in the yard for some sun without worrying if the neihbor is going to call animal control.
