You can not get a license for keeping restricted snakes as pets. You must have a reason to have them, (Scientific, educational or exhibitional). Mine are for educational and exhibitional. There are 3 licenses at this time that pertain to snakes. Endangered & Threatened, Collect & Possess and Venomous. Currently the large constrictors are listed on your Venomous license. You also have to be 18 years of age to obtain the license. You get them from NYSDEC Special Licensing Unit, in Albany, NY.
Possess & Collect is for native NY snakes.
Venomous is for venomous and large constrictors are temporarily listed on it.
Endangered & Threatened is self explanatory.
You must meet many safety and caging requirements and the licenses have to be updated every year with an activity report, showing all the activities that the snakes were used for.
Some of the licenses are temporarily unavailable at this time.
