    Re: Reptile Rescue

    Likely in Florida.
    You are aware of the laws regarding reptiles of concern

    Former reptiles of concern are now listed as conditional species. Conditional reptiles are not allowed to be acquired for personal possession. Reptile dealers, researchers and public exhibitors may apply for a permit to import or possess conditional snakes and lizards.
    People who owned one of the following species, now listed as conditional species, before July 1, 2010 may keep their animal for the remainder of its life. These pet owners must maintain a valid reptile of concern license for these animals.
    Indian or Burmese python (Python molurus)
    Reticulated python (Python reticulatus)
    Northern African python (Python sebae)
    Southern African python (Python natalensis)
    Amethystine python (Morelia amethistinus)
    Scrub python (Morelia kinghorni)
    Green anaconda (Eunectes murinus)
    Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus)
    Anyone who possesses a former reptile of concern and can no longer keep their animal may relinquish it at a Nonnative Pet Amnesty Day event or to a licensed reptile dealer. A map of licensed reptile dealers is available online.

    not to mention rescuing snakes from a owner that can no longer care for his animals is one thing but taking in snakes that are wild to adopt them out

    Try getting your hand on a afroc and let me know how it's working out for you?

    Finally you are also aware that you can no longer transport some specific species across state line right?
