A QUESTION ESP FOR QUEENSLANDERS?

[spooky]

I would like some info, my friend lives in Cairns, she came down to Sydney (she is from here) and went to the aquarium at Darling Harbour and fell in love with the Gippsland Water Dragons that they had there.

Can you keep them on licence in QLD?

She had all the info from the licencing people up there off the net, and she said to me 'Well if you can make heads or tails of this info you are better than me'?
Well I read all the info and I couldn't understand it, nothing was black and white so to speak. (Thank God for NSW's NPWS at least it is easy to understand).

Are we really that dumb,(no smart comments please) or is it really hard to understand?

Hi Fay...hope you and Garth (and Lucy ;-) ) are going well.

Yes QLD'ers can keep Gippslands on licence...they may come simply under Eastern Water Dragons (as you may know NSW still doesn't classify Gippies as a separate species).

Marc Furbank (AGAMIDAE...who is currently online now ;-) ) will have all the info you need and probably has some available.

Eastern Water Dragon. Physignathus lesueurii lesueurii can be kept in QLD on the most basic licence and is considered a Common animal by the QLD EPA.

Thanks for all your help guys! Simon, the South Coast Herp Society is having their reptile show on the 9th April. Should be a great day!

AGAMIDAE, Do you breed the blue form Gippslands? If so how much?

 

[Simon_Archibald]

Fay,
It is the blue form that Marc breeds I believe. Go to Marc's website: http://members.optusnet.com.au/brisbanesnakecatchers and find the phone number...he'll probably be more likely to answer there

(correct me if im wrong "experts")

Fay, blue is the most common form, green are the special ones Stevo has some lovely specimens, maybe if you asked him nice and all, he might take a pic for u.
