: : : A question for those knowledgable in the legalities of owning Eastern Indigos. Living here in California, would I have to possess a permit to own an Eastern, or would simply buying from a licensed breeder suffice??? Not really sure and have heard conflicting info so if anyone could clue me in I would appreciate it..
: : : Thanks, Steve

: : Owning an Eastern indigo is CA is no problem, as long as you buy it in Ca. If you buy one from out of state you will need a Federal permit. The only other laws that may affect you would be local laws in your county or city.

: Chuck and Matt - Thanks for the info. Was curious and didn't really know what the law required. So buying the snake here in CA from a licensed breeder is OK, but buying from an out of state dealer requires a permit??!! Good to know.. Another question I'll pose is when buying from a CA dealer would I receive paperwork substantiating that I obtained the snake in a legal manner?? I know I provide my license number and a copy of the receipt when selling the Desert Rosy's I breed.
: Thanks, Steve E

Steve, Perhaps there is a slight misconception about owningand breeding indigos. Let me try to make it more clear. Unlike the CA state breeding permit, there is no permit required to own or breed indigos in Ca. Some states, where they are native mostly, require a state permit. The Federal permit is for shipping protected animals across state lines. A resposible indigo breeder will have no problem giving a reciept telling the origin of the indigo you buy.
