Western Hognose legal in CA?

Simple question, are Western Hognose legal to buy/ have within the state of California?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, I believe you can have them here.

Thank you ma'am.

Yep, you can! I have a Western Hognose, and while she wasn't sold here in CA (she was shipped from MI), I have seen them in local pet shops... awesome little snakes, they are. :)
