please do not listen to the ramblings of a non leagl person who might get in trouble from the BIG BAD DEC...
HEEEE HAAAAAAA just joking gosh knows we never do anything illigal..
just take good care of wonderful small colourful snakes that we love to death!
how horid of me!!

Do with it as you will. I had asked the question, so I thought I would share the answer. For some of us there is more at stake than just whether or not the DEC will raid our home...I have children that I would like to raise to be honest people, they are watching my example...

Which is a very important reason!! That's ultimately what made me decide to release Twister. I want my kids to grow up understanding the value of the environment and endangered species. And they need to learn that following your values isn't always easy.

Game regulations say you can have up to 6 garters in your possession "for personal use", whatever that means. For commercial use you need a license. I assume they don't want you to take too many from the wild and sell them. I just wanted one for a pet.

Ah, but if you read what it says, you're allowed a COLLECTION limit of 6. Meaning you can only TAKE 6 garters from the wild. There are no limits on possession. ;D
It also does not say that you can't sell CB babies.

I wonder how half of these stupid laws came about. At least the Michigan ones make half sense... Cept for the snapping turtle ones. x.x
