you are looking at about 300.00+ for the snake, 100.00 for a small reptile one enclosure and heat mat, and your your licence!!! dont forget the licence
get a stimmy, spotted or childens, these guys are easy, ( most of the time) they wont get too big and they wont swallow your hand ever! :-))

Dont allow much room for experience before getting that tiger snake in Tas do they

eliped aren't those three snakes the only native snakes in tasmania....but surely i could just buy a snake from the mainland or something

(p.s. i havent gotten a license yet)

Tassie does not allow you to bring snakes in from the main land I believe. You are pretty limited on what you can have down there, get hold or your local EPA and see what they can tell you. They usually give you a number to call for more information as there knowledge on those laws is not up to date due to continuing changes to the laws. There is a specilised licence you can get to keep reptiles from the main land and it belongs to a reptile comitee down there they also might be able to help you.
