What is considered Exotic?

[reticnation]

I live in Chicago in the USA. I was just wondering what animals you guys cannot get over there that i can here. Or what is considered exotic to you?

 

[craig.a.c]

We can only keep reptiles that are native to Australia. That means no corn snakes, boas etc. and any lizard, amphibian found outside of Australia

i never knew that. I am suprised! No ball pythons or retics must be hard. can you geth them with licenses?

Only Zoo's and wildlife parks are able to obtain exotics. In my opinion our pythons are some of the best looking in the world. I wouldn't trade any of mine for a ball, retic, boa, nothing.

I agree with you 100% The Australian pythons are the best and i only like retics because of the size. Trust me you guys arent missing anything when it comes to boas. Ball pythons have no personality at all.

Although I wouldn't mind a chameleon or two of a certain species (maybe I'll just have to pay the States a visit, have a fiddle with em, and get over it :lol

 

[eladidare]

australia has the best snakes i think, but i wouldnt mind a russels viper or gaboon viper...

 

[Retic]

I love exotics but I love all reptiles pretty well equally. I would love to have iguanas, some of the exotic pythons, loads of boas, chameleons etc etc.
I kept boas years ago and we are missing something trust me ;-)

You cant give an Iguana away. They arent worth a penny to most people. I go to trade shows and they just give them away. Gaboons are amazing, my friend has a pair and they are PURE EVIL!! I have had chamelons and they are alot of fun to watch.

We can keep a couple of south american parrots and axolotl, also i have seen newts in petshops.
Id like to get some vipers but...

We can only keep reptiles that are native to Australia.

And Green Tree Pythons.. Some people will argue that they are non-native.. In fact in some states' legislation they are regarded as 'International'....

 

[Reptilian]

I love our aussie reptiles, but there are some very nice exotics out there that would be cool to be able to keep...

 

[reticnation]

I have had some red belly newts breed for me also. they are fun but alot of work.

Well that's just silliness on their part.

Which State? Do they class Salties in the same category?
