Under the code of practise in victoria for keeping reptiles. Do the enclosures have to meet those dimensions . For example. Say you keep 1 adult frilly which is 70 cm in total length. Does that mean you have to keep it in a 175cm long, 140 cm deep enclosure?.... because according to the code of practice those are the minimum dimensions. ie Every lizard has to be kept in an enclosure 2.5 times its total length (long in enclosure) and twice its length, (deep in the enclosure).
Now your telling me people have an enclosure this size for 1-2 frillies. I've seen alot smaller.....
And dont you think if these were the requirements. Reptile enclosure makers would build these dimensions standard, instead of the norm being 1200x600x600 or 900x600x600.
Im a little confused about the code. not just for lizards but for both terrestrial and arboreal snakes.
If a wildlife officer did come around (unlikely but who takes the chance), I wouldnt want him taking my reptiles away because i was an inch to short their or a few cm off on that etc.
Any info you can provide me will be greatly appreciated...
