[gonff]

hi, just wondering what is the deal with liscences? i know for most reptiles these days u need a liscence. are there different types of liscences? and what sort of liscence would i need for a pygmy mulga monitor? or any other small varanus species.

thnx Gonff

every state has a different department that handles it and silghtly different laws, ckeck with the one relevant to your state

If you live in vic go to the DSE website (google it) and then you can look up native wildlife licences and go from there.
Here is the link

There are different classes of reptile licenses, each corresponding to different native species. I know in NSW there are three types, and you have to hold each one for a certain length of time before you can progress to the next one. At each class the species become more dangerous or more rare.

Im not sure how it works in VIC but im sure it would be similar. Contact the specific wildlife government department.

In NSW you only have to have a class 1 license to keep pygmy mulga monitors

This is a better link it takes you straight to the licence page, I think you will only need a basic but if you click on each licence type it will tell you what you can have
Then print out the licence application from, fill it out and send it off!!
