Back on topic:

I actually thought they WERE illegal in IL as they never have any at reptile shows there, but hopefully Gregg is right (sounds like he knows what he's talking about) and you can get a permit. I'd contact your local fish and wildlife service, they might be able to help you.
DDDDDDDDDD: goodness. that looks horrible. I'm pretty much not going to let anyone hold it if I ever get one.

I thought they were illegal too, and I figured that's why i haven't seen any. I found a site for the permit here and they have permit applications you can print off and mail in. So I guess that's what I'll be doing tomorrow
