Have you ever seen 'em in a petstore here? Real easy rule of thumb: If petstores can sell it, you can keep it. Applies in most cases.

Heather. You live in Georgia. No animal native to georgia is legal to keep as a pet. There are exceptions to this rule. But none you really need to concern yourself with, ie: venomous snakes are legal to keep. You can use native lizards as fish bait but you can't keep them as pets....odd huh?

what exactly does.....oh nevermind. Do you just make up words sometimes? The opposite of illegal is legal.....you don't add letters. You take a couple away. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] lol

Hey look at this law I don't think it is real but look at it. I found it on a law page.
.Cats may not yowl after 9 pm in Columbus, Georgia; in Collingswood, New Jersey, no dog is allowed to bark or howl between the hours of 8 pm and 6 am. Dogs are not allowed on the streets of Provo, Utah, after 7 pm. And in Smithtown, New York, dogs can't bark for more than 15 minutes at a time (punishment for the third infraction is a $500 fine and a 15-day jail sentence).

Our country is filled with so many ridiculous laws that the ones you posted are probably correct and legal. Has anyone actually been arrested for the offenses you listed? Odds are no, with maybe one or two exceptions.
Whether it is legal or not, you are taking care of these animals, better then the "real" world. I am not an advocate of breaking the laws, but in some cases I think "what they don't know can't hurt them".
Warner Robbins, for those who don't know, has a huge military base located there. I should hope that local officials are more concerned with world peace then a couple of skinks.

Ah yes, GA and its herp laws. I can tell you from firsthand experience, GA DNR is generally pretty lenient, so long as you aren't keeping indigos or any other endangered animal. That's about all I'm going to say about my run-in with them, aside from I didn't have any indigos- but I did have a few non-native snakes that I shouldn't have had in GA.
