Whats the regulations of captive bred snakes in VA? All I was able to find out is the breeders permit cost ad not the number of captive bred native snakes you can own. would love to breed corns and eastern kings in VA someday.

thanks,

You are allowed to own 5 Elaphe guttatta guttatta, or E. g. guttatta crosses, without a permit. In order to breed and/or sell them, or even to own more than five, you are required to fill out and purchase a propagation permit ($12.50 per year). You'll need to contact the Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries at the following address www.dgif.state.va.us/ go to the 'forms' section, and fill out the following form: Application to Possess, Propagate, Buy and Sell Certain Wildlife in Virginia - Fish. Yeah, the 'fish' form includes E. g. guttatta. From my understanding, even if you live out of the state and attend shows here as a vendor, you are required to purchase one of these permits.
