Ok
the species and state were all that were needed.
Each state has different laws pertaining to what you can and can't keep.
Although the rough green snake is endangered in Pennsylvania it isn't endangered in all states.
I do not know the laws in Pennsylvania but it is possible that laws allow you to keep such snakes as the rough green snake if legally purchased from a state in which they are not endangered. May even take special import permits.
Not sure but these are possibilities.
Hopefully someone with knowledge of the laws will be able to explain more thoroughly.
But there are instances where this can be done.

22 is not enough snakes
CAV said:Permits are easily obtained for many animals, especially at the state level.
That's true, but I was always under the impression that you had to have a reason to get the permits. We get ours through work because it's a wildlife rehab center and we do educational stuff with some of our nonreleasable animals. I'm getting permits of my own for raptors next year actually when I start teaching....but this kid is only 16 according to his profile, which is why I never really gave the subject of permits much thought in this case. I dunno, I was just more curious than anything.
