different reptiles allowed in differ states, why?????

Now is a good time to start the research as it takes a very long time. Maybe ask around to see if someone has a copy of the spencer monitor submission to give you a better idea. I know a few people working on trying to get the advanced list like other states whereby if you could legally obtain it from other states then you can keep it.

Hmmm, so there isnt a form to fill out, its more like writing a persuasive essay on why it should be allowed to be kept? Or am i confused? Just had a look at info on net reg PN turtle.

You got that right thats what it is and if it doesnt jump through their hoops they ignore it, If it ticks all the boxes they will think about it and sit on it for a few yrs. Thats why 2011 will be a good yr to floor them with submissions.

[sarah_m]

so complicated! Too late at night to be thinking about this, was never good at essays
But thanks heaps for the info. Still sucks that the rules are all different, who cares which state it is in as long as it is being cared for correctly. Oh well.

The restrictions in Tassie would be one of the worst. To import a species down here at present the following applies:
a. Must be tropical species (above tropic of capricorn)
b. Must be registered as a zoo/wildlife park or have a registered business with display permit
c. Submit care and management plan
d. vet checked for OPMV, chrypto, certified no previous IBD on premises

Reasons being so hard.....they are not naturally occuring in Tassie, could pose a threat to native wildlife, and the BIGGEST concern.....at present we are a disease free state.

To gove you an idea of the process.....I have been waiting 3 1/2 months to gain approval to import a spencers.....still no definitive answer

So i have a snowballs chance in Hell of getting submission approved. Of well, worth a shot. Can understand them wanting to keep Tassie disease free but how frustrating. Yes or no shouldnt take that long.
