In Georgia, Cornsnakes are a native nonvenomous species, thus protected. You cannot posess, sell, buy, or breed any native nonvenomous (Cornsnakes, Black Rats, Garter Snakes, PineSnakes, Chain Kings etc). However, I have my Exhibition Permits from DNR that allow me to keep 2 of each nonvenomous species for educational purposes. But if I bred them, I would have more than 2.

Nice colours too!

I have a 6 foot corn as well. And here I thought he was a freak. Looks like my Morpheus isn't the only one.
Those laws are absolutely bloody stupid. I can't even begin to imagine my life without my corns, and I've only had them for a few months.

They have laws like that all over. Here in missouri we can keep up to 5 native species without any problems. But if you go over that then you have to get a permit which cost 50 dollars a year. and they have to come to your house and inspect the way the conditions are.
If you keep venomous or snakes over 8 feet your supposed to get a permit , for 150 dollars and they have to inspect your house.
That is one big corn. LOL

Makes no sense to me. And I don't think it's that way in every province... I've known a lot of people who have kept red-sided garters here in Alberta, and those most certainly are native to Alberta. I should look into that further though. It may explain why the Western Hognose is not legal to keep in Alberta.

Invictus, yes we have the same laws in most provinces & Alberta's are just about the toughest. The Western Hognose is considered Native & thats the exact reason that they are illegal here. As far as one specimen of a native species go, they ("the Man") don't seem to care too much. They are more worried about people exploiting the native species for profit by collecting specimens in the wild, thus we have laws to prevent this from happening. Unfortunately this stops breeding them also because they will have people lying about "producing them" when they are actually just "stealing them" from the wild & selling them for profit. Laws suck, but unfortunately so do people. Mark I.

Well if such is the case, what's the point of field herping? I'd have to go to Saskatchewan and catch something that's non-native to Alberta if I wanted to keep it. Silliness, man!

Great looking corn. If you were to breed him I wouldn't complain if you sent the babies/eggs to me

There's more to field herping then grabbing wild snakes and keeping them. Why do people catch and release fish? There's the thrill of the hunt, seeing the species in it's natural habitat and just being out with nature seeing her sights and smells. Heck, the exercise is probably good for you too.
Herping is more then just aquiring snakes.
