Hi Petr,

As far as I am aware there are no regulations on keeping kings and rats in the UK... ( although if
the RSPCA get their way, there may be in the future ). Snakes such as corns, kings and rats
are sold openly in reptile shops throughout the
UK ( I have 6 myself ). Also, I do not believe
that snakes are subject to quarantine laws when
they are imported, but obviously check that one
out before you travel.. I am assuming that you are
from the EU ??

Hope this helps,

Steve.

: Hello,
: Would anybody be so kind and tell me what regulation (if any) exist in Great Britain (in England) on keeping non-poisonous, non-CITES snakes, such as kingsnakes and ratsnakes. (I might move to England for couple of years.)
: Any information appreciated.
: Thanks,
: Petr
