THE COP has been finalised and is being implemented now to private keepers. Cage sizes become law now.
This was taken from an internal memo about reptiles in pet shops:
"People who keep pet reptiles under an Animal Keepers Licence or Companion Animal Licence are
now required to comply with the Code of Practice for the Private Keeping of Reptiles administered
and enforced by NPWS. The minimum enclosure sizes specified in the Code will not be enforced
for the first year (to March 2014) to give keepers the opportunity to change their enclosures if
necessary."
Let the fun begin
