Colubrids and Elapids on recrational licence

[PremierPythons]

I wish they'd put the legislation and species list up on their website somewhere that was easy to access... Ecoaccess site is so bloody convaluted - no wonder they don't even know themselves what the hell is going on...

i spelt out boiga irregularis in particular (as that's what i'm interested in) and she still said no

She did say there is a list on their site under the legislation, will have a look later, good luck to me...

I have a Rec.

 

[cris]

From the rules
"All common reptiles other than restricted reptiles are recreational reptiles"
It lists the "dangerous" elapids, sea snakes,
"All threatened or rare reptiles other than the following - "
crocs and sea turtles are listed underneath :shock: the way i read that we can keep crocs and sea turtles, although the version im reading from is a couple years old, they might have proof read it by now, because i dont think we can keep crocs here

 

[tan]

it's all very confusing, imo, u want something other than a python, ring em and ask em...... like i said they told me no to boiga irregularis and anything not a python.

 

[cris]

Just buy the BTS Tan. As i mentioned in another thread i talked to someone who didnt have a licence and they were told that they just needed to take them to a vet and they could keep them legally without a licence, some of the ppl who work there are completely clueless.

BTS are not listed as restricted and there is no way in hell they can claim they are rare.

 

[Adzo]

No mention of colubrids of any type.

ahhh the loop holes, ya gotta love em

In NSW we are allowed to keep many "Mildly venomous" snakes on basic license.
Jealous much?

 

[Magpie]

And here's the defenition of "Least concern"
http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/nature_conservation/wildlife/threatened_plants_and_animals/least_concern/
There's no loophole about it, they are not restricted and they are least concern, therefore you can keep them on a rec.
Saying that's a loophole is like saying keeping Coastal carpets on a rec is a loophole.

not really we can keep any that arnt endangered, the only problem is finding them for sale. I actually think we have far better laws than NSW

I actually think we have far better laws than NSW

and we have even better laws than u!!! hehehe sorry just had to rub it in!

 

[moosenoose]

In Victoria they must be kept on an Advanced license. Scrubbies on the other hand can be kept on a basic...go figure :lol:

 

[tan]

I have since spoken with the epa again and a new person told me you can keep the "least concern" bts etc on a rec licence. I say again - it depends who you talk :shock: , At least I have the correct info now and she also forwarded me a link to the "legislation" not guidelines so if anyone wants it pm me. Cheers

 

[moosenoose]

Typical bloody Victoria!! :lol:
