Florida — Venomous Reptiles Exhibit Bond
Florida FWC publishes a separate bond form for exhibition of venomous reptiles with a $10,000 penal sum. Prepare the exhibitor's actual security request and wildlife-license file rather than using the different Class I wildlife form or a general event bond.

What this bond does
Supply the venomous-reptile exhibition security identified in FWC's captive-wildlife application material, using the exhibitor and accepted form in the actual request.
- Who needs it
- An applicant preparing venomous-reptile exhibition security for FWC. Personal possession, public sale, transport and other wildlife categories have their own licensing questions; the product title does not settle them.
- Who it protects
- FWC's linked form addresses injury or damage from venomous reptiles possessed or exhibited and compliance with applicable State laws and Commission rules. It caps the surety's aggregate liability at $10,000 across continuation years, not $10,000 for each person or each year.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can I use the Class I wildlife bond form?
FWC lists that form separately from the venomous-reptile exhibition form. Match the actual reptile request and accepted instrument instead of assuming every captive-wildlife security has the same condition.
Is the $10,000 available again for each claim or year?
The linked reptile form says the surety's aggregate liability may not exceed the penal sum regardless of continuation years. It is not described as a fresh limit for each person, incident or year.
Does this authorize possession or exhibition?
No. FWC controls the applicable wildlife license, qualifications and facility requirements separately. Purchase Now opens Propeller for security, not a wildlife permit or an inspection approval.
