Review of NSW Licencing

[spongebob]

There are a number of changes including a new licence of a companion animal (one only but cheaper). The species list has been reviewed, but there appear to be omissions such as no varanids. Also the text on the front page still says womas class 2.

Yeah Spongbob, Im a bit confused over this new list. Like you said at one point it says Womas class 2 but then later on says they are on the basic license??? Also no monitors what so ever? Strange

So what happens when ppl have a C1 license, buy something in that list and then the species is upgraded to C2? Are you expected to give up your animal?

I dont think there are species being upgraded. New species tend to places in higher categories initially. This list is an attempt to sort out some of the inconsistencies.

WOW centralXeastern Beardies have their own species number..

 

[W.T.BUY]

when will this be put into action? I can see alot of species going WAY up in price due to new demand!

[mero1]

thanks Jay

 

[Bushfire]

I wonder if the majority of monitors will still be in class 2

 

[swaddo]

I agree, too damn hard to read now

 

[-Matt-]

Id say so...the majority of the monitors belong on class 2

 

[Mr.James]

so hybrid pythons, north west beardies, woma's and monitors are the big changes I can make out..

Looks like they are putting in a good effort to sort things out!

 

[PythonRob]

The website still shows Woma Python as Class 2 on the webpage (this takes programmers to change) however the NEW 2009 list now shows them as Class R1 as well as many other pythons, check the list by entering their website or copy & paste link into your web browser.
