So, one post with kind of an odd story...no responses from OP? Seems strange. Further...OP knew about "infection" on snake's head...no treatment mentioned..no vet (don't know what venomous laws are in the Great White North)...just seems weird.

In Canada hots are legal federally so they are legal to import to the country for the sake of zoos and such. However there are no municipal exceptions allowing them to be owned (as far as I could find). I looked into this months back after a chat with Aaron re adding a hot to my collection. After doing some research theres nowhere I could find to have one legally unless you have a zoo type permit. The research I did was primarily for Ont but as far as I remember laws were very similar for the rest of the country.
