A little reminder hereOriginally Posted by jfreels
That doesn't keep a lot of people from owning them though. I would suggest just getting a king snake though.
There's a reason the PetCo 5 miles across the TN line off HWY 75 is doing so well
And from the talk from some of the people I know in Georgia who own them, just don't get a normal and you can always pass it off as a king if you need to. They do show up on Craigslist from time to time.

Owning a corn snake in GA is punishable by a $1000 fine.
Do I like this law? No I do not I always wanted a cornsnake and obviously this is not gonna happen unless the law changes, but it's ok with me because there are many other species I can own so not the end of the world.
What people need to think about, other than "well if I own one no one will know so it's ok", is that by owning an illegal species regardless of the state you live in is that YOU are putting this entire hobby in jeopardy.
People breaking laws are not what this hobby needs it only tarnish the image of the rest of us who are responsible owners.
There is a thing such as responsible ownership and one of the thing it implies is being knowledgeable about your state / local laws and of course abiding by them.
As for GA here are the species that cannot be own as a pet.
