[zard]

im looking for an allowed list of reptiles and licence classing in QLD i have looked but my search has proved fruitless.
could some one point me in the right direction.
thanks in advanced

You can keep any reptile in QLD, rare and venomous reptiles are on the specialist licence, crocs are on the Exhibitors licence, and evrything else is on the recreational. think that's everything, oh, and you can have it so your licence covers both birds and reptiles.

 

[Koula]

... and amphibians.

This is everything I can keep on a QLD Recreational wildlife licence. Hope it helps, (and makes sense!!)

:arrow: COMMERCIAL REPTILES

AGAMIDAE

central and inland bearded dragons.

SCINCIDAE

pink tongue lizard, eastern blue-tongued lizard, cunningham skinks.

CHELONIDAE

I didn't think you could keep crocs there?

 

[foxysnake]

Well you can't, but that's what the licence says.

 

[longtom]

only fresh waters mossey and you have to have a exhibitors licence

 

[foxysnake]

Oh and a recreational licence includes birds whether you like it or not as well.

 

[foxysnake]

To have the elapids you must do a venomous snake handlers course. Which upgrades your licence to a specialist license. So don't really know why they're on the list.

No, you just need 2 reccomendations. and they're on the list under 'restricted', so it makes sense to me.

 

[foxysnake]

What do you mean by reccomendations? I'm curious!

 

[Koula]

Maybe they mean "reccomendations" by having two other special/venomous licenced people to give a written reference to the person applying? Sorta like they are vouching for the person wanting them? =^^=

You hit the nail on the head.

 

[Koula]

My recreational licence (QLD) says I can have anything on the list plus 2 "restricted" species (though I'm just happy to keep a spotted python and a pair of common eastern bluetongues)

 

[foxysnake]

Hey thanks for that, good to know if I ever venture into elapids.

 

[PilbaraPythons]

To upgrade your licence to a specialist by recommendation you have to supply two written references from two herpetologists of proffessional standing. It is more difficult than you may think.

 

[ashley_morris22]

2 "restricted" species

thats not restricted as in tipan, or tiger etc its gts, bts, file, keelback's etc.
also i pretty shore you can keep as many of them as you want now( dot quote me but im pretty shore)

 

[zard]

thanks so much for the info.. we are looking to move up QLD soon and wanted to get everything in order, will contact all the appropriate authorities when we set a date.
any hints on moving about 40 reptiles interstate????

 

[africancichlidau]

Yup, sell 'em to me before you move

 

[Koula]

I think you just get a "Movement Permit"... its cheaper than paying individual Movement Advices for every herp I think.
