|  | Regular Member | | | | Red belly Black snake ......Licence & selling.
So, I have done some research and have some questions to clear up my knowledge.
Can a normal snake licence allow me to have the Red belly Black snake? Im a Qld'er.
Ie; I think this snake is classified as restricted, and as such I beleive I can have 2 rbbs (or 2 restricted) on a class one (legal pet class), but I only want one.
Is this true that I can have a restricted species, specifically RBBS on this licence?
Does anyone have a RBBS for sale?
HOw much would it be? (they were 100 dollars or so in 2007, according to a past thread here.)
They are a delicious snake, probably one of the prettiest.
Cheers Guys for any help. |

but thats what i heard might be different way to get it |

|  | Bendy! Sponsor | Join Date: Feb-07 Location: Brisbane Gender: | | | | As has already been stated - you can't keep ANY elapids on a recreational permit. There has been a bit of confusion about whether non-lethal species of elapid such as Demansia could be kept, but after checking with Alex Kowalski at EPA, it is a blanket ban on all elapid species without a Specialist endorsement.

|  | Invert nut Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-05 Location: QLD Gender: | | | | you can have some elapids on a rec licence, its the ones considered dangerous that a ven permit is needed. bhp's are not restricted reptiles so there is not limit on the numbers you can keep on a rec licence. Restricted reptiles are all threatened reptiles other than sea turtles, sea snakes and crocs which cannot be kept but any private keeper in qld. Species like the mary river turtle, pygmy blue-tongue etc would all fall under the restricted category

Reason: realised Woma's and gtps are classed as rare.

I rand up the epa, and they seemed to echo your comments that one can keep an elipid, but one has to have a specialist endorsment, and usually this is for a type of snake, and not a blanket endorsement to choose any elipid you wish.
Thanks for the info so far guys |

Sometimes they will even tell you you cant keep any elapids that arnt listed as restricted, i have also been told those that arnt listed can be kept on a recreational licence.
Did you get my PM Jonno? |
