This should be an interesting one. Found this over on Reddit in a community called r/VenomousKeepers. I think this is a question people would find informative, so here we are. The user would like to know what the process is like when obtaining a restricted species permit in Ohio, as he owns mangrove snakes and false water cobras. They are mostly concerned with the written test, as they were unable to find anything on it and are unsure what kind of questions would be asked. What he found was far too vague and only went over basic care and the scientific names for the snakes. The written test is only given to those who only have less than 2 years of experience caring for the snakes.
He is also on the lookout for vets who are able to provide care for these snakes, as he is also required to have a written statement from a vet. What is the process for obtaining a restricted species permit? It sounds like it will be a challenge for him, but I think it makes sense to go through these steps to ensure that you're well prepared to care for these animals and ensure others are safe from them as well.
