You cannot legally keep one in GA.
Why would you want to? This isn't a "cool" pet...
A friend of mine is an experienced handler and keeps hots.... he was keeping one for a guy and got bitten through a bag. It wasn't pretty....
I disagree, I think it is a cool pet. I'd like to get one myself one day. I've never been that interested in venomous snakes, but I find venomous lizards extremely fascinating. The laws pertaining to keeping these vary from state to state and even town to town. They are native to several states actually, but I believe are protected though most of their range. However there are several breeders in other states where they are legal to keep from whom you can buy captive born offspring. They're pretty pricey though.
