we can legally keep them in Victoria with the right license.

wat sort of hoops do u have to jump threw to get rite permit. elapid8 your rite there the only way is by having a demonstators permit or a zoo permit. i thought the only state that let u keep crocs was nt

 

[junglepython2]

You can keep them in VIc on the advanced license which are very easy to get, I believe you can also keep them in SA and NT on recreational licenses as well.

CRocs need plenty of water and sun , bank space , and most of all respect.
I would make sure that i had sufficient space before i got one.
I hope it all go's well....... i would love one and one day i will but i just havent the space at this moment.
Good luck
steve.

we have basic and advanced.

advanced costs more, and you need a basic for 12 months first

 

[Tetras]

Thanks
do we need advanced to keep non venomous snakes? or just a basic one?

 

[Ricko]

So Whats with this new thing about having a basic for 12 months first thing before getting an advanced license?

 

[Inkslinger]

we have basic and advanced.

advanced costs more, and you need a basic for 12 months first

You can apply for advanced straight away or upgrade anytime in VIctoria

 

[Ricko]

Thats what i thought inkslinger never heard anything about a basic for 12 months first, even if you are just getting a license. As a friend of mine is about to get back into herps and wants a advanced license straight up and i thought you could just get advanced as long as you pay??

 

[Forensick]

really....

i was sure i read that you needed the basic BEFORE the advanced... (when i applied 12 months ago)
