>>GA protects all native species of herps. >>

Not exactly

http://www.georgiawildlife.com/documentdetail.aspx?docid=6&pageid=2&category=conservation

"Georgia Law allows the taking of certain native species; namely rats, mice, armadillos, coyotes, groundhogs, beaver, freshwater turtles, poisonous snakes, frogs, spring lizards, fiddler crabs, freshwater crayfish, freshwater mussels, and nutria; because of their status as a nuisance or other reason."

Presumably you can keep a rattler as pet but you cannot keep a kingsnake as a pet. That seems illogical.

Anyway, the tiger salamander is not listed as one of those species prohibited, so it is best to do what the web site suggests:

"The following list of species native to Georgia may not be held as a pet regardless of its origin or morphology. Although extensive, this list does not include all native wildlife that is prohibited. If there is any doubt about the legality of possessing any species, contact the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Special Permit Unit."
