I've looked every where and cant find a list of what snakes you can keep on a basic recreational licence in qld (apart from pythons obviously) I looked on the EPA website and all it says is "reptiles of least concern" and i cant find which ones they are?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks! |

I had the same problem when I started keeping snakes... Here goes, from memory, and about 4 years ago, so it may have been updated... You can have any amount of:
# any python (but only up to 2 womas [as they are class as endangered?])
# common tree snakes
# brown tree snakes
then it goes on to lizard, dragons, geckos
I will try and find the docs for you.
Cheers - Bec

Thanks! | any snakes except maybe elapids(many differant stories on this issue) and definately no dangerous elapids that are listed or sea snakes. Species considered endagered like rough scaled pythons are restricted and you are only allowed a total of 2 restricted reptiles(any species). |

i found this list of restricted reptiles on the EPA site
black snakes
broad-headed snakes
brown snakes
Collett’s snake
copperheads
death adders
eastern small-eyed snake
rough scaled snake
taipans
tiger snakes
whip snakes aren't on there does that mean they are not restricted reptiles and can be kept on basic recreational? I hope so! lol |

| | Invert nut Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-05 Location: QLD Gender: | | | | i have heard 2 sides to that story, some people say no but i got a list from the epa, its in writing so should be accurate, that only lists the elapids you mentioned as needing a specialist permit therefore any elapids not considered dangerous should be ok

Its one of those wordings that is open to interpretation but the wording of "including the following species" does not imply that the others are excluded, only that they are just not listed on that list. I am sure it could be challenged. |
