Law?

[infernalis]

Here is where the laws get really "effed up" anyone can kill, chop, mutilate, run over, grind to pulp or shovel ANY garter snake EXCEPT Tetrataenia.

Doubtful that a pet Sirtalis will get you arrested unless the DEC officer has another reason to bust your nuggets.

Show promoters are scared of crossing lines.

They PROHIBIT sales of "bootleg" recordings at any "record/CD show" yet vendors sell piles of them all the time.

Radix and Eastern(sirtalis) and Ribbon(proximus) "are afforded no protection in Iowa"
Good thing there are a few of us who do offer them protection.
