you can probably walk into a pet store and purchase almost any type of non-venomous snake. I never concerned myself with permission to "own" (i actually think of it as living with an animal) an animal. Once, one of my families german shepards bit a Garter Snake and wounded it pretty bad, so I brought it into the house an rehabilitated it. When I brought it in it had bites all up its sides, and when I released it, the wounds had healed up nicely and it was fat on various insects (and arachnids) i had offered it. I really like reptiles and amphibians in general.
