Corns are listed as 'endangered' in New Jersey, and they prohibit keeping of any corn without red eyes. (Basically you have to keep amel morphs and amel combos like blizzard, snow, etc)

What do you mean? You can have a million of something in captivity and still have them be endangered in the wild! There are a bunch of species where they are doing OK in captivity, but they are almost extinct in the wilds (mostly mammals and not herps, granted). Corns snakes ARE protected in NJ fro sale AND ownership. If you got one from out-of-state and brought it back to NJ, you'd be breaking a federal law and the state law.

Don't risk it personally or risk making all herpers look worse than we already do.
