Law regarding keeping Taricha in CA
- Thread starter stanleyc
- Start date
According to CA fish and game, they can be captured as long as you have a fishing license but Im not sure about captivity I would assume its o.k. because most states will outlaw collecting if you cant keep them. But I didn't look any further than Fish and Game.

Tarichas (and other caudates) are legal to keep if they are collected with a CA fishing license. It is a good idea to check the DFG website (www.dfg.ca.gov) for current regulations and limits.
There are some strange restrictions regarding the sale of native CA species (as well as non-natives, Ambystoma come to mind) and ultimately they are illegal to buy or sell so they are not commercially available; which is probably good. I'm not sure of the legality of selling captive bred taricha though.
