Mangroves are legal in California, to the best of my knowledge (Great Valley Serpentarium breeds them).
I'm guessing the only outlawed rear-fangs in Cali are the medically significant ones, i.e. Dispholidus, Thelatornis, Rhabdophis.

Only two specifically prohibited by California regulations:Dispholidus and Thelatoris.
