Hello my name is Chris I'm 32 and I'm medically Retired from the USAF. I grew up in Florida and loved Catching and keeping snake turtles gators ect. Well I got married and the wife was terrified of snakes so for 9 years I haven't had one well six months ago she said she was threw and wants a divorce been a hell of a year the only up side is I can have snakes agian. Well yesterday I was working on my truck and felt a sting on my back when I climbed under it flopped ovet thier was a baby copperhead. Well crap so I go get a bucket and scoop him up toss him in a empty aquarium and off to go get looked at no sysptom so either I got lucky and got a dry or a bug bit my at the right time. Up side I know have my favorite snake in an aquarium down side I'm nervous as hell around him this epuld be my first venomous snake if I can keep him all the research looks like I can but I'm not a lawyer so still looking for a definite yes lol. I plan on turning my 1000 + sq ft storage shed into a reptile room. Dose anyone know if it's legal to keep hots in Arkansas specifically Pulaski County I'm well out side the city limits and have 5 acres if someone knows for sure it would help out alot thanks.
