Pet Herp License in VIC

[benji]

G'day,

I'm moving to Melbourne in 3 weeks and am looking forward to owning some decent aussie pythons.

Can someone please explain how the licensing system works?

Do you send in an application form? Are there categories for different species?

What does it cost?

Cheers

Theres basic and advanced, you can have most pythons on basic and gts's, you send in a form that you download, i'll be happy to get you the site when you move (can't be bothered atm), it's about 50 odd dolars a year. you have to renew by 30th september every year.

Although you can have most pythons the only ones you should get are Childrens Pythons (oh yeah and a pair of waters )
