Does anyone have a link to the current California state laws/regulations for owning /selling venomous?



I am beginning to think the laws may have changed as I am seeing WDB rattlesnakes (even albinos) sold within the state. I thought that was illegal?????



I remember the law being:



It's legal to obtain /keep only two of each native CA species. They are not to be bred or sold. If the animals were to exchange ownership no monetary amount was to be given, only gifted or donated to the receiver.

All non-native species are illegal without a permit.



Has that changed??????



Thank you for any replies.
