    how to catch wild frogs or lizards??

    hey guys i just wanted to know what a good method is to use to help catch lizards or frogs? I live in Melbourne, Victoria and wondered if anyone on the site has any good spots where they go to find wild animals??

    btw i want one to keep if it isn't endangered or venomous, not to hunt :s

    thanks lots if you know anything to help

    You cannot legally keep anything you catch without a permit to catch.

    sorry i didnt mean to keep :s lol
    i just like to handle frogs or snakes in there own environment, i dont like keeping live reptiles all that much
    i wanna be like one of those guys on discovery channel or national geographic, just chasing reptiles and such
    it seems like it would be so much fun

    Great fun till you get bitten by something venomous...
    Handling courses or talking to people who own them would probably be a better start

    This bit here, where you said you wanted to keep one. That sounds like you do in fact want to keep whatever you catch.
