Yep, they're a federally protected species, you'd need a special permit to have them and even with that, it's been designated that it's too hard to tell captive bred "legal" animals from wildcaught ones, so there's just a blanket policy that they are totally illegal to posess. That's why you don't even see them in zoo's too much. If the snakes breed, it's too much a pain in the *** to get rid of the babies that the zoos don't even want to deal with them.
