Okay guys i have a project in college that requres me to write a care sheet for a certain animal, so naturally i chose a corn snake.

I am required to write about a certain piece of legislation that could include corn snakes and i cant find any.

Do you guys know of any laws?

Just general animal cruelty laws. They are protected over them.

You could look into live feeding. That would be an interesting one. There's a lot of hazy bits in the legislation for that. It's not actually illegal to feed your snake live food, but then there's the cruelty to the mouse to consider too, as you could be in trouble for causing undue pain and stress to the mouse.

Look into it- I bet there's loads you could write about for that.

Yeah also shops aren't allowed to sell live feed but not illegal to feed live prey if you breed the mice yourself

Not strictly true, think about Crickets, Locusts, Meal Worms etc.
