Infernalis, knows the laws and I think he has the license. DEC visits him every once in a while, due to his nosy neighbors.

I only mention it, because every time one of us get caught violating the laws, it effects us all, with tighter regulations.

Tough Sh*t she's mine now. If it isn't a threatened or endangered species in the state I don't care, there is no harm in me having them. They are better off with me than in the wild with predators and sickness.

Re: Eastern milksnake

Sorry I get really defensive when people tell me to let my snakes go. I plan to get a license of some sort so I can get my pet fox and legally keep other native wildlife without people giving me crap. A USDA license would work, though I would need to do shows and such.

No need to resort to profanity. A USDA license has nothing to do with keeping native reptile species in NY. You are mad because you are breaking the law and you know it. There is no reason to rape the wild of reptiles, when there are many places to buy captive bred.

Reptiles will have a much easier life in captivity and you know it.

Yes and he didnt say otherwise, however we have Cbb easterns available. If everyone took snakes from the wild, it will rape the population is what he means.

That's hypocritical towards his own statement that they are illegal to keep captive bred or not earlier on this page.

In NY the license to Collect or Possess, means, you can keep captive bred snakes all year long. Wild caughts are kept only for the summer time and must be released where they were caught at the end of summer. They are to be used for educational purposes to help protect the wild population.

My statement is not hypocritical, I just follow what the laws are in my state.

That's cool. But it's totally asinine to deny that you spoke and then spoke against the spoken words.

I never denied anything I said. You assumed. Get your facts correct.
