I live in NC and LOVE it i hope when my husband retires from the army we will stay here, there is really no laws about keeping snakes that i can find.

I live in NC too, its great unless you want to own hots. Then it's a whole other story.

I'm still leaning towards South Carolina or Florida.

Chris, what's the 'whole other story' of hots in NC?

You can't own any native hots, so no copperheads, no EDB, no pygmies, no timbers, no canebrakes, and no corals. They are all protected in NC. Permits are only issued to zoos and educational institutions. Non native you can own but can't sell and you have to have permits, but those aren't too hard to obtain from my understanding. Also in NC and this may be true in other states as well you
can not get home owners insurance if you own hots.
