Arent the laws the same for zonata as they are for pyromelena?

I don't think so. They can occasionally be found in pet stores in WA. They are a different species and they are not endangered.

That's what I was getting at. There are plenty of other snakes that are just as cool.

zonata are off limits! shame on you.

May want to get your facts straight before shaming me

I just received this beautiful Gray Banded King( Lampropeltis alterna).
He's in great shape and will go nicely with my female, once I find her.

I am sure you are right if you live in Washington, but they are not off limits in Cali (there are regulations however).

In Utah the tri-colors we have, Utah Pyros as well as the Utah Milks, are off limits unless you aquire a permit. I guess if you consider Longnose snakes a tri-color I miss spoke, they are non-controled

Exactly... and I'm not the type to go catching everything I see and bringing it home before doing research.... which is why I let this guy go, I was unsure of the regs so after a bit of coddling he was simply moved off the road... http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5387

Maybe someday one will show up in captivity, either for sale or in a rescue type situation. Until then I'm happy leaving them be... But, we can wish all we want for these marvelous snakes... just like we all wish we could have San Fran Garters. Not going to happen, but doesn't stop me from wanting one... and in the case of most sup species of zonata it would be perfectly legal to have one... a single one in most cases.

I had only ever planned on having two non garter species, rubber boas & a king. The corn was a fluke that hubby brought home from some guy who's kid wasn't caring for it any longer. We'll see about adding the other two, but I'm in no hurry
