I live in GA as well and was disappointed to learn that we can't own corn snakes, some milk snakes, or some eastern king snakes. We are allowed to have non native kings. I bought my Cal King at Petsmart. I was going to buy a beautiful southern pine snake, when I couldn't find the patternless bull snake I was originally looking for, but those are prohibited too. I eventually found an albino bull snake that worked out great. I do agree that there are a lot of other great snakes we can keep within the confines of the law and I would advise the OP to go that route but I strongly disagree that one person owning a harmless corn snake reflects poorly on the entire hobby. We are all individuals, not the collective borg, and should only be measured by our individual deeds.

Thank you, my Georgian Brother. LOL!!! That's all I was trying to say starting this thread. I had no idea it was going to turn into an all-out, good ol' bar brawl. I wasn't bragging that I was a daring law breaker and that I dared anyone to try and stop me. LOL!. No, I was just talking about how absurd a lot of laws our Politicians think of and the tax payers money they waste to enforce something that dumb. Furthermore, I am not smashing anyone's views here, but those who think that the general public actually have a say anymore as to what laws are passed or not, I find that adorable the dream still lives on. Love all you guys/gals on here.

I find it adorable when people who have no clue what their talking about try and come off like they do.

I know a handful of people (including myself) that were at a local council meeting and got the proposed all out exotic ban to convert to a 2 meter rule for snakes. That's not everything but it certainly proved your theory wrong.

Glad to know you're only willing to complain about it over the internet and not actually do anything about it.

Lots...look into your local council for open meetings. Find out how and what you need to make a proposal to change things.

Call your local office.

Start there.
