Finding Corns

So Pirate55 said:
i've hear by buying "Red eyed" corns such as amels and snows that it's legal to keep them b/c they are not those found in the wild. Is there any truth in that?

Sorry I missed this almost two months ago...

I did some research on Georgia for someone who lived there that was interested in owning cornsnakes.

You cannot own a cornsnake, regardless of morph, in the state of Georgia unless you have a permit. The only people who are issued permits are museums/zoos and educators. SO if you are a schoolteacher you can have and keep a corn (and the permit is VERY easy to get for these people), but otherwise SOL. The guy I talked to at the Georgia DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) stated he though it was a shame as well...and that they have too many animals on their list that should be allowed for captive bred sales and keeping. BUT with the way the law is currently written it IS illegal...although there has been some legislation in the works to change the way these laws are written to allow for the keeping and breeding of some of the snakes that would be found indigenously in Georgia, as long as they are purchased from out of state or captive bred. If you live in Georgia, contact your state representative or state senator to see if they can help with passing this legisilation.
