Okay so i know you can collect AHG's to use as feeders but are you allowed to keep and breed them? and is it legal to keep Cane toads as a pet? (Queensland)

Hello, This was found in Townsville. Any suggestions on ID please? Thank you.

Just a question... I have a neighbour who wants to get some Asian House Geckos - he has a NSW licence, but doesn't do these forums and has no other reptiles, and can't collect them himself. We have a few here (on the adjoining 100 acres) in my shed and around the house (fairly recent arrivals)...

Will we ever be able to keep exotic reptiles in Australia? Is there hope or is it something that will never happen? A lot of other exotic animals are allowed to be imported into Australia, as long as quarantine regulations are followed, for example cats can be imported, they are devastating to...

Hi everyone, sadly my newly acquired Oedura Maramorata (marbled velvet gecko) has one eye that is significantly larger than the other. I have spoken with Dr Danny Brown and he believes this to be either abscess or a tumour behind the eye pushing it outward. Due to tha fact that this only...

Found this fella on the bikepath on the way home this afternoon - just outside of the CBD. I guess the snakes have started to move again even though it still seems bloody cold to me.

Anyone keep red-back spiders? Because I'm interested in keeping one, what's their care like, enclosure, temp, substrate wise? Is spraying the enclosure a good idea for water? I know they eat crickets flys and that stuff. I know their extremely dangerous so I won't be handling it.

Found this Gecko when I was in Darwin in September. Not entirely sure what this little bugger is specifically . Would love the help. Thanks guys :D

Hi guys. I was hoping you could help me with identification of the Asian House Gecko and the Mourning Gecko. I understand both of these species occur in houses in the Townsville region, which is where the photo below was taken. I know that AHG has prominent spines along its original tail, but...

Sorry no photo but this morning picking up some scrap tin to take to the dump I happened upon a tiny Gecko. It was between 2 and 3 inches long, very dark, either black or very dark brown, and was covered in white spots. Very very cute. Can someone tell me which one it is please?

So I just watched a video on youtube of someone who has an asian house gecko. If it is legal to keep it, he will. If it isnt he will get it healthy and release it into the wild again. What would you do. If people want I can PM you the video but is it right to be keeping an asian house gecko and...
