: : 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
