All states have .pdfs of all their laws, for example in Arkansas
www.agfc.com/pdfs/captive_wildlife/Captive%20wildlife%20code%2007152004.pdf
"Any furbearer, game animal, game bird or game fish legally taken during an authorized season in compliance with all applicable hunting, trapping and fishing restrictions in this Code Book may be possessed."
NATIVE WILDLIFE PET RESTRICTIONS. It shall be unlawful to take or attempt to take by any method other than by hands and possess alive any native wildlife species other than six (6) each of the animals specified herein per household. The transfer of ownership of such animals or the progeny thereof is prohibited. (A) Bobcat, coyote, deer, gray fox, red fox, opossum, quail, rabbit, raccoon and squirrel. (B) Any native nongame wildlife excluding birds, bats, alligator snapping turtles, ornate box turtles, hellbenders, troglodytic (cave-dwelling) species or those animals defined as endangered species.
"Mountain lions (Puma concolor) may be kept in captivity subject to city and county ordinances and must be accompanied by proof of legal purchase and ownership."
tl;dr: Just about anything goes, and even if you are breaking the law the worst they can do is a $100-$1000 fine and make you surrender the animal, not that they will do anything unless you fuck up and are bit by your rattlesnake or your coyote eats your neighbors dogs or they complain about your bobcat running loose
