An 18-inch corn snake was surrendered to the Hawaiian Humane Society Sunday night under the state’s amnesty program.

The Humane Society turned it over to state agriculture officials.

Corn snakes are not poisonous. They are found throughout the southeastern and central United States. In the wild, corn snakes usually live six to eight years, but in captivity can live as long as 23 years.

Since June 29, state agriculture officials and the Honolulu Police Department’s CrimeStoppers program have received 15 illegal reptiles — including two ball pythons, two boa constrictors and two albino Burmese pythons — and three sugar gliders, a marsupial native to eastern and northern Australia, according to Glenn Sakamoto, agriculture compliance sector supervisor.

The state’s amnesty program provides immunity from prosecution for anyone who voluntarily turns in an illegal reptile. State law categorizes possessing and/or transporting illegal animals as a Class C felony, punishable by a $200,000 fine and up to three years in prison.
