I put this here because I thought someone here could clear this up.

Pennsylvania just passed a law that states that we can only have 1 E. alleghaniensis - Eastern Rat Snake (without a special permit - which I will gladly get if I know I need it.

I have 3 E. alleghaniensis (formerly E. obsoleta obsoleta) x Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata- intergrade (Often called the Greenish Ratsnake)

I looked on CNAH and it no longer lists Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata as a seperate species which seems odd.

See:{url]http://www.cnah.org/nameslist.asp?id=6

The game Fish and Boat Commission who are in charge of this are very slow in answering questions. Does anyone have any idea what to do?
