You must obtain an importation permit to first bring a gila or other venomous reptile into OK. Then you'll have to get either a commercial or non-commercial wildlife breeders license to keep them. For these permits, you must keep venomous reptiles in a locking cage-has to be a keyed lock, all screening must be double layer, and glass must be at least 1/4" thick. You can get all this info and the applications for them by calling the department of wildlife.
