check your state regulations, as these vary from state to state, and without that information, I'm unable to help, google works great to look up state regulations concerning various state laws, some states, for native species, require only a valid fishing license, others require permits, etc

First thing you should worry about is education. I am not trying to give you the usual get into school speech but you certainly should take some classes. As a small business owner you need to understand basic accounting,tax laws,etc. I have a close personal friend who once worked for the SBA and he told me once that these type of classes are usually required as part of the loan approval process for a small business. Good luck.

You could probably get a lot of the information you are looking for from visiting the Cape Fear Serpentarium. Dean Ripa just went through all the hoops to get that opened up and most of the process and hurdles will still be fresh in his mind.
I really recommend going up and visiting him.
Other than that, money seems to be the answer to all things.
It will be extremely expensive to set up a large collection of exotic venomous in the state of Georgia. Some contacts in the GA DNR would be helpful to you in wading through all the legislation that will apply to what you want to do. I would recommend calling/visiting them as soon as you can. Remember that it is never too early to start building a professional reputation and making networking contacts. Right, wrong or indifferent, people will judge you on your appearance and how well you write, speak and present yourself. Always try to present yourself in the best light when you are making these initial contacts.
Good Luck,

If you are in Georgia, forget about it their venomous laws are off the chart and DNR is not going to have them kept without permits it is 100,000 worth of liability per reptile max is 500,000 try and get an insurance co. to write that policy.

actually Georgia venomous laws arent too bad. You can keep any native which is:Cottonmouths,copperheads,coral snakes,Eastern diamondbacks,timber/canebrake rattlesnakes,pigmy rattlesnakes. And I have all of them but the coral,
