I had a few lizards (blue tongue's mainly) as a teenager before I knew about licences (SHHH, don't tell anyone, oops , this is a public forum isn't it ) but my first legal reptile was this male childreni, Buddy.

As a kid (we are talking 4 - 5 years old here) in WA, I used to 'rescue' bobtails and bring them home to de-tick them. The ticks would be everywhere and I spent many hours picking ticks off and killing the little bloodsuckers.

Later, I was rehabbing local lizards and releasing.

It wasn't until I moved to QLD, just before the WA laws changed, that I got my first legal herp. That would be Cleopatra, a local Brisbane carpet python and still the Grande Dame here today.
