Does anyone know of laws regarding Anacondas in Indiana? I feel like with as hillbilly as this state is, they shouldnt be a problem. I have had many pythons in my life, but I am looking to step it up and get a real snake.

Permits
Indiana has two types of permits for owning wild animals that can be obtained from local business certification departments. One permit allows a person to own a wild animal that is protected by rule or statute. The other permit allows a person to own a wild animal that may endanger animals or plants. Indiana exotic pet laws require anyone owning a dangerous exotic animal to get a permit for every exotic animal in his possession. These animals include the usual exotic animals, such as lions, tigers, jaguars, panthers, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, venomous reptiles, alligators, crocodiles, gorillas, orangutans, Burmese pythons, reticulated pythons, green and yellow anacondas.
Keep in mind you have to also check Local laws too
