SA License for Dragon Species

[jaclyndaniel]

Hi,
Im hoping for some info from herp keepers who know a bit more about what species fit where in regard to licence.
I'm doing some research as to what license is required to keep a boyds forest dragon, southern angle headed dragon and lace monitor in South Australia? I am assuming they are specialist since they are not in the basic list. But also know that many species have a few names they go by so I could have gone past it.
Thanks
Jac

Lacies are specialist and think Boyd's are too. Few keepers of Boyd's in Qld don't know how easy it would be to acquire or import to SA. Lacies are always coming up for sale.

Boyd's and lacies are specialist, but southern rainforest dragon(Hypsilurus spinipes) are ob the basic list.

bigjoedriver is correct. Hypsilurus boydii and Varanus varius are both class 3 species and require specialist endorsements. H. spinipes is on the basic (class 1) permit though.

Boyd's aren't kept by a lot of people down south due to their dependance on high humidity... of which is difficult to cater for down here in our dry heat. Set up a misting system or automated/ timer controlled humidifier and you'll be fine. All three species are kept and bred in solid numbers in the eastern states, I'm sure you'll have no problems finding any.
