I'm wondering if any of you in NC have exhibited snakes and dragons to the public, and if so, what legal stipulations did you encounter? We're planning to build a 10-15 animal zoo exhibit, with custom built "natural" habitats.

I have someone getting the details on the zoo exhibits, but this question is about having a giant python out with the public, a handler throwing out facts and letting children touch, etc. I've seen this done at malls, but I need to know what kind of permits or regulations I'd be dealing with.

Thanks for any help!
