It's Illegal to Have Pet Snakes

Many people worldwide have pet snakes, and they keep them in vivariums in their bedrooms and living rooms. Many people in the mainland U.S. even have these slithery little animals as part of their family. But you won't catch anyone with a pet snake in the state of Hawaii, as it's illegal to keep snakes! The Hawaiian government is very strict about this rule, and they won't even let these animals onto the island.

However, this state is home to the Brahminy Blind Snake - which arrived by accident when it was found hidden in some imported plants. This snake is harmless, though, so they let it slide.
