I am pretty sure all of the venomous species are illegal here in UT. Unfortunately that includes gilas and beadeds as well as rearfanged species like Boiga. Sorry.
Here is a link with the regulations: http://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/...ians_reptiles/
Where do you live in UT? I am up in Logan area.

I am in south salt lake myself but I work in sandy at comcast. I saw a mangrove snake on ksl.com that someone said was legal and they are slightly benom i think but I am not versed heavily in hots so. I may be wrong.
