Emerald Tree Monitors and Blue tailed monitor

[Lottie]

G’day
I wanted to ask about keeping Emerald tree monitor (Varanus prasinus) Blue tailed monitor (Varanus doreanus) I’ve seen these monitors in NSW for sale and so my question is:

1. Can I keep one in New South Wales after keeping another species of monitor after 2yrs?

2. Do I need another license to keep these reptiles not for education but for keeping them?

3. Is there any care sheet for keeping Emerald tree monitor (Varanus prasinus) Blue tailed monitor (Varanus doreanus) as I can’t find any care sheets in Australia?

Cheers

Lottie

I can't find any info on these 2, NPWS/OEH haven't updated their list since 2016 despite so many changes in taxonomy. 1. So it isn't easy to tell if they would be on R2 which you can upgrade to after 2 years or possibly even R3 which would be another 2 years after that. You are best off asking the people selling them what license they are
2. No only 1 license is required
3. I know a girl in Qld who has V.prasinus so ask her for advice on keeping.... Shikito's Critters.
