Just something to consider.

Yes it is. But if I get one in SC, who will know (except for everyone that will now read this and tell someone.) LOL!!! Had a few before.

Eh, don't we all, in one way or another sometimes? I think DNR should concentrate on the real law breakers. Poachers, Trespassing etc.

Unbelievable...... That is the difference between you and me......I am not willing to keep anything that is not legal to keep. I am not willing to put this hobby that i love at risk because of pure selfishness.....All my animals that i keep are legal to keep, if they weren't, i would find new homes for them, because that would be the right thing to do.

Your attitude sucks, pure and simple.....try and start thinking of others before your own wants, jackass....

What happened to no name-calling? I am not condoning keeping anything illegal, but do you truly believe he's going to endanger the hobby by buying a single corn snake?

I apologize for the name calling.....but with all the legislation that is going on here, even keeping one illegal animal can be detrimental to this hobby....Why is it so difficult to understand the word "illegal".....

I think the best approach would be to warn the OP of the possible consequences of smuggling an animal into his/her state and suggest alternatives.

OP: In my opinion there are kingsnakes and ratsnakes that have patterns fairly similar and equally beautiful as the corns. Are there certain morphs you like? Perhaps we can help out more.

Bottom line here: Pretty soon, we won't have anymore freedom in this country. Look at it: Forced healthcare that nobody can afford, more taxes on the things you buy to help the government replenish the national debt.

(That's the best one I've heard so far). Small businesses are even being pushed out the door to make it harder for people to live. Our family business would be out of business if we haven't been grandfathered in 30 years ago. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy ALL of your views and opinions. If any of you ever hurt my feelings, you have clearly raised the bar!

I'm sure that's what the first person releasing a burm into the everglades said too.

"What will a single snake do?"

completely irrelevant. We're talking about a snake native to Georgia. Apples and oranges. And again, I wasn't condoning it, I was just saying there is no need to be overly aggressive about the topic.

It's our government that makes bullshit like this illegal in the first place. Look at all of the things that "should be" illegal, but there are too many pussies running this country......And yes, my attitude does suck. I got tired of taking **** from people a long time ago. (My opinion)
