any states w/o permits

[kc261]

I seem to remember reading that in GA corns and other native non-venomous are illegal, but oddly enough native venomous are legal. Pretty sure it did not even require a permit.

I think it is possible they are legal in VA at least in some circumstances/locations. I got this idea when a non-native venomous snake was found, so that city passed an ordinance making ownership of them illegal. Of course, it is possible the city passed something that duplicated state law I guess. I have no idea if permits are required or not.

in ohio you dont need one unless its on the endangered list or some stuff like that and native ones

Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe anywheres they do "hot" shows where they sell hot snakes, are places you can legally keep them without a permit. I could be wrong, but that's how it seems to me.

alabama no permit needed

In Alabama i'm pretty sure you can only keep native venomous species, no permit needed though

not really neal, the daytona show use to be venomous vendors would have to ask to see if the person had a permit, they could ask to see id to see where the person lived..

there are places in ohio that ban venomous keeping. even if hots are legal in the state the city can still ban them.

also, they have a show in orlando, FL that has HOTs.

From all the reading I've done, Minnesota does not require permits, but they are banned pretty widely at the city level, so you'd have to live out away from people.

Actually you do need state permits to keep Timber Rattlers and Massasaugas. Not because they're venomous, but because they're considered endangered in this state. But you're right, most cities/towns have ordinance against them. In the town I live in, I would be allowed to keep venomous if I carry at least $100,000.00 in insurance and have the written permission of all neighbors within 100 yards of my property. So in other words, it's not likely to happen.

What about Arizona?
