Just noticed Repticon is going to be in Greenville next weekend. Being in South Carolina, I know there will be lots of Corns there....My favorite. What to do, what to do? Don't really want a divorce right now though. LOL!!!???

LOL. I've been in your shoes T. It took me about 5 months to soften my girlfriend up to the idea of me getting my 3rd snake. I had the holiday season working in my favor too. Have you tried foot rubs, flowers, candy, dinner, shoes or jewelry? You don't have a lot of time to sway minds with the show being next week and all but you may have better luck in the spring/summer. The hero gets the prize AND the girll

Best wishes buddy.

BigT,

I believe it is still illegal to keep corn snakes in Georgia as they are considered a native species. The laws do not differentiate between the different color morphs, it just says that you may not legally keep Corn Snakes if you reside in Georgia.

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.

It's nice to know you're willing to break the law.....

I wouldn't say you're raining on his parade; you're helping whittle down the choices of all the other awesome snakes there are out there to consider. There are so many snakes out there I want and it would be nice to have the field narrowed down sometimes!

You do realize this thread will be on google, right? And anyone can see this.

Yeah probably not the smartest move to advertise considering breaking the law. lol

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?

Not only is it on google, animal rights and law enforcement groups do monitor these websites from time to time. I really can't support or agree with anyone breaking the laws. The laws are stupid in many cases, but I don't think it reflects well on the community. I think that with the risk our hobby is at we need to consider what affect our actions could have on others.

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".....
