Im looking to start keeping snakes from south africa is there any one who could give me some advise on how to get permits andwhat are the legal channels to go through
First you're going to have to find captive bred animals or animals that are already on permit, then you apply to the local nature conservation authorities for your permits. I'm not to sure about GP, but here in the western cape it would be a transport permit or import permit depending where the animal is coming from, and then a captivity permit. Hope that helps
