Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I posted over a year ago about how i might be able to get the permits required for owning an Eastern here in FL.

I own an educational company that teaches children about reptiles and would love to add and eastern to the presentations.

I am adding cages and have an extra cage big enough to hold an eastern and would love to add that to my collection.

Somone emailed me wiht a bunch of info but that has since been erased. Can anyone shed some light

Thank you,

Key to obtaining a permit for Easterns in the State of Florida is "Public Display" it should not be too hard if your able to provide open to the public facilities.JB

I accidentally clicked indigo forum, but saw your thread title and have the answer for you.
I have a friend who is LT. for FFWCC and emailed him a while ago about obtaining a D. corais couperi. They are so awesome!! Anyways, heres his response:

The Eastern Indigo snake is a threatened species here in FL; hence the
protection. If you were to obtain an E. Indigo from a lawful source
outside of FL, you would still need to obtain a special use permit from
our Tallahassee office, specifically from an Angela Williams 850 921
5990. Bert you would also need a lawful source of acquisition that you
purchased the E. Indigo from a lawful source.

Hope this helps.
