I was just wondering what is legal to own in California. Obviously hognose and FWC. Anything else?

California Fish & Game code covers it. You can obtain a free copy of the code at places that sell hunting and fishing licenses. In short, as to hots, CA residents can keep native rattlesnakes; no exotics hots. Of the rearfangers, twigs and boomers are specifically prohibited.
Unk if any changes for 2006.

...and as lateralis points out, there may be local county and/or city ordinances in addition to state law...I love the law

With permits you can have Reticulated Gilas as well, there are no regs regarding Heloderma horridum so they are technically legal, BUT you still ahve to make sure your particular city has no ordinance in place, if so you still may need a permit to have them.

I have been thinking WA state. They seem to have pretty easy going laws. I am pretty sure you can keep just about anything there. Not a very big police state also. I didn't see one single PO when I was up there, probably good to see one or two though . I did see about 100 cop cars on the way there in Oregon to even the Northwest up.....
