there are private breeders, i know 1 and have heard of others. In qld you can keep em, SA you need a specialist endorsment to keep them, NSW i'm not sure but sure you can keep them on a specialist permit, VIC probably cant keep em, no idea bout NT and WA i'd say no. The animals i know that were attemped to change over to a more readly available diet were all captive bred young. As i said they ate the alternative food source but all died, longest lasting one year. I guess its something in the ants that is needed for them to live, i have been thinking about if they could survive on something like crickets if they had their diet supplemented with ants every few feeds to provide them what other food items are lacking.
