I live in Georgia and I am looking for a pet snake. What snakes are legal to own?

Question

I know corn snakes are illegal to own as pets in georgia.

Answer 1

Snakes as Pets: I assume the following means these are Legal--

  In the Western world some snakes, especially docile species like the Ball Python and Corn Snake, are kept as pets-To supply this demand a 'captive breeding' industry has developed-Snakes bred in captivity tend to make better pets and are considered preferable to wild caught specimens-

Answer 2

well non venomous and non constrictors are always legal but you need to check with the city to see if it is legal to own a boa constrictor or a python and venomous snakes need a permit but sometimes the city rules over power the permit so that is not a good thing

Answer 3

These things vary state by state, your best bet would be to contact Georgia's Deptartment of Natural Resources or Fish and Wildlife or whatever you guys call it up there and ask them, not everyone keeps up on what's legal or not in their own state, so how can they really help you?
