: : : : I have always loved them but I live in Florida, Is there a species that i can legally own?

: : : : thank you in advance

: : : shaun,
: : : you can legally own any of the indigo species you'd like to, the eastern indigo in florida requires two different permits. one from the
: : dept. of interior for transporting a federally protected species across state lines and the other from the florida game and freshwater fish commision for having a state protected species in captivity. they are both a bit of a hassle to get and take several months sometimes for processing.

: : A little catch to this is that you may not buy barter or trade for an eastern indigo it must be cb and it must be a gift. In order to get the Fl permit you must obtain a letter from the person you are getting the snake from verrifying that the snake is cb and that it is a gift. All this applies only to the eastern indigo you can own a texas or cribo w/o a permit

: : Mike

: The facts are a little different than explained. I have sold several D.c.couperi to people in Florida. Including the State of Florida for display in wildlife preserves.
: The Federal permit is not too hard to get, especially if they know who you are buying the snake from. I do supply a letter of transfer with my snakes.
: The Florida permit is a little different. They have changed many times over the years, each time making it harder to get a permit. The last time I sold a snake to someone in Fl. They had to not only agree to not breed them, but they couldn't even buy a pair. Not only that, but they now have to use it for educational purposes. So I assume you could get the permit for one snake if you were to give "show and tell talks" to kids in school.
: Good luck, you can contact me via email if you need more info.

: Chuck

chuck,

its been a couple of years since i got my permits for a pair of indigos that i purchased from robert seib and then the fl. fish & game requested that you not release offspring to the wild but i don't recall anything about not being able to breed them, has this changed on the permits they are currently issueing?
