Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm applying for some jobs in Bozeman, MT. I've heard conflicting things on Montana laws regarding herps. I keep large snakes (reticulated pythons) as well as florida kings and african house snakes. I'm trying to find out if there is a law banning any of the big snakes; I've heard that they ban burms, retics and rocks but haven't been able to verify this.
