Where are you located?

Different states have different species lists
 
They are the one of the most common pygopus in captivity so I would suspect they would be available. They are available in Vic and nsw.
 
If you have a basic licence you can keep them :) You just have to find one first! Not all that common, may be hard to find a breeder...
 
You actually need a specialist endorsement to keep Pygopus schraderi. Pygopus lepidopodus and P. nigriceps are on the basic license, not P. schraderi.
 
Do you know why that is Rocket? P. schraderi are, in my opinion, easier to keep then nigriceps and especially from what I've heard about lepidopodus. They eat like tanks!

Eastern scaly foots ( Pygopus schraderi) are not allowed to be legally kept in Victoria.
 
How new is this? The file I printed afew months ago stated that spiny tails were diplodactylus but this was correct.
Haha knew they were there :p
 
Sorry, you are right. Must be fairly recent addition though. Nigriceps was the only hooded species on the keepers list for many years.
