What snake is this? Do you require a permit?

Reticulated python. Don't know about permits.

In the Western Cape you need a permit to keep it.

All snakes in captivity in Western Cape require permits.Each province has its own regulations.

Probably some exotic species of Boa. Exotic species are not protected in SA but you might need a CITES import permit!

Looks like a Reticulated Python from Southeast Asia.

You found it in the wild? Or did it just slither onto your property?
