I have a PHD in Biochemistry, and use the snakes that I have in a veterinary toxicology lab. It was a long process to get the permit. I had to show proof of my education, provide professional references that showed I had a least five years experience with the species and have my facility inspected. Which they do every year.

As far as Vemoniod is concerned I do know that the state doesn't allow them....

You could always call the NJDFW and ask. The Clinton NJ office handles all the permits, Trenton only handles the hobby permits.

I think the number is 908 735-5450. You may have to leave a message because the Zoologist that handles the potentially dangerous species permits is always out doing inspections. He'll be able to help though...
