Iv had my number 1 license for 2 years now (or just over) and when i went to the Frog and Reptile show they said that i can have animals from a number 2 license (meaning my license has upgraded).. is this possible cause i thought you had to be 18 and im only 15..

can't keep pythons for 2 years then get class 2 monitors..
you need a class 1 monitor for 2 years to get class 2 monitors.. etc.
vens are a whole different set of rules, references etc

|  | Kelly Subscriber | Join Date: Dec-06 Location: Berowra, Sydney, NSW. Age/Gender: 34  | | | | They will know what animal you aquired when you send in your book next year! The new system cross checks everything.... If you haven't kept class 1 animals of the one you aquire then you will get a phone call/visit.....
so from what I was told.....if you apply and pay for a class 2 licence for pythons(no refs needed), and you have had class 1 turtles for years but didn't actually apply for a class 2 Turtle licence then its ok to aquire a class 2 turtle anyway. They just check when your book comes in that you have had the class 1 equivalent.... (hope you can understand my ramble.....) |

|  | Herpawhat? Subscriber | Join Date: Dec-07 Location: sydney, in Da Ghetto Age/Gender: 26  | | | | that is how i was told by the NPWS at wild expo....
own class 1 animals similar for 2 years before getting your class 2 licence and then class 2 animals..
class 2 licence is not an open invitation to buy whatever you want.... read the licencing rules...
you could have had class 2 monitors for 10 years,
you would still need a class 1 python for 2 years before getting a class 2 python
