roughies are advanced??

[AllThingsReptile]

i was just looking at the herps i can keep on the basic license (vic)
and noticed roughies werent in there, so i looked at the advanced license, and they were there, does anybody know why, or is there something im missing??

it just puzzles me, as scrubbies are basic....but huge lol

i guess its because there rare compard to coastals and that . womas are the same [ on advanced]

 

[AllThingsReptile]

hmm, i'd say this will change in time, as they become more common?

New to the vic license, only added to the schedule last year. Anything new to a license system will always be on the "higher" license. You will notice that the pygmy BD, N. amaye, N. asper, leaf tail gex and golden taileds are on the advance license as well due to being new. It's got nothing to do with size or care or availability as womas are on advance license as well and always have, while black heads are on the basic.

 

[AllThingsReptile]

ahhh ok, so will they become basic soon, or will i just eventually have to get an advanced license??

Don't hold your breath on them coming down to the basic as they only review every 5 years or so... Just get the advance license mate. That's what I did as soon as the new species were added as I wanted golden tailed geckoes (which I now have eggs incubating ) as well as the rough geckoes.

will do......when im 18, im actually 14 atm, so cant get an advanced license, otherwise i would be keeping frill necks atm

With getting a class 2 lic, Say you want a GTP, I know to get that you need to have kept a carpet python for at least 12 months. But my question is if you get your class 2 for a GTP and then want a lacey do you have to apply again and prove that you have had a similar monitor on class 1 or it doesnt matter because you now have a class 2.

in vic u can apply straight for the advanced , i only had my basic for a couple of months before i changed to advanced

The only difference in Vic from basic and advance is $80.

pretty much, for people under 18 to get an advanced license you need to do snake handling courses and all this crap, so for now i'll stick with my basic license, and work on actually getting a snake first lol

What a load of crap!
The only way you will get an advanced licence under age is if you parents hold the licence!

There is NO licence category in Vic that requires completion of a snake handling course!

Vens are a different story to the advance mate, though they are on the same schedule. Just because you have an advance license in Vic doesn't mean you can keep vens.

None of the trainers in this state will certify anyone under the age of 18!

Just on a side note the customer service centre knows stuff all about the regs and requirements so are not worth the call!

Wouldn't bet on that! There are trainers who have done venomous handling courses with people under 18 with a guardian present.
