The owner of the pet shop is clueless. Corn snakes may not be bought, sold. traded with, bred or transported as they are listed as an invasive species. It means you are allowed to own them but cannot do anything with them. You may not even have them in a pet shop.
However recent legislation proposed that they will be removed from the list because it is impractical and actually non-scientific so as a result soon corn snakes will not be restricted. However because the proposed legislation is already in the pipeline nobody will be prosecuted at this stage.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
