permits in Cal.

[Josh in CA]

Hi i was wondering if anyone was from Cal. or happened to know what permits are needed in Cal. been looking for a while but cant happen to find them in help would be nice. if it helps at all really only snakes i want are diamondbacks and maybe some gaboons once i have more experience.

i do have experience with other snakes grow up with a western diamondback while i was little so know how to handle them and have had various non-venomous snakes.

you can catch and keep native rattle snakes in CA if you have a sportfishing license or something.there is no bag limit,unlike most natives,where you can only keep 2.atlest this is my understanding.

a california sportfishing license is required to collect native species snakes here in california. however when it comes to rattlesnakes here in california no permit or license is required to collect any rattlesnake species. i've already provided the link to the Department of Fish and Game laws. its on the first page actually.

§5.60. Reptiles.
(a) General Provisions: Only the following reptiles may be
taken under the authority of a sportfishing license, subject to the
restrictions in this section. The limit for each of the species listed
below is two, unless otherwise provided. Limit, as used in this
section, means daily bag and possession limit. No reptiles shall
be taken from ecological reserves designated by the commission
in Section 630 or from state parks, or national parks or monuments.
(b) No sportfishing license is required for the sport take of
any rattlesnake.

I got this from another post.
