is it just in darwin

[phatty]

was look on Gum tree found a snake going cheap gave them a call but no permit every time I think about getting a snake from GT most of them don't have permits.
the old attitude you'll be right people don't realize that one 100 dollar snake can bugger there hole collection

 

[notechistiger]

That's why the people with permits know the rules and don't buy from people that either don't know about licensing or don't care

 

[Darlyn]

Phatty if you're buying snakes in Darwin you should look up Reptile Territory, Jeremy knows his stuff and has
a diverse collection of reptiles. If what you want isn't there pm me, I know someone else who may be able to help you.

 

[Umbral]

It is a shame considering how cheap and easy it is to get a permit (well it is in NSW not sure about the other states.) For $40 a year of what ever it is I'm not sure why they take the risk.

 

[Darlyn]

Costs nothing here so it's ridiculous.

Costs nothing here so it's ridiculous.

Unless it's wild caught or a Childrens, they dont require a permit here.

Facebook has a reptile sale spot and it would surprise me if anyone had a licence on there

 

[Umbral]

Even less excuse then, I really don't understand the way some people's minds work some times.

 

[phatty]

steve i thing i know what your saying but i dont believe you can have wild caught

 

[SteveNT]

My bad, EITHER they are trying to sell wild caught (or stolen) reptiles and dont therefor have any paperwork OR they're selling Childrensii which is the only snake up here that doesn't require a license.

 

[phatty]

if that was true about wild caught every member on here would be moving to the nt

 

[notechistiger]

I wouldn't be moving state for a childrens python

Can I ask why childrens aren't on license? cheers

 

[SteveNT]

They're very common and I guess not considered subject to commercial exploitation? Just guessing .....you'd have to ask NTP&WS, they decided. Blue Tongues and GT frogs arent on the permit list either.

 

[Chanzey]

Ok thanks alot

it is possible to legally purchase wild caught reptiles in the nt. there's a guy in Katherine with a licence to capture. I think its very strictly controlled.
certainly beats the black market.

100% correct. One of my Night tigers and the mother of my Olive were wild caught animals that the chap you refer to is licensed to keep after submitting the paperwork. From chatting to him ages ago, the animals he is allowed to collect and sell after capture is based on how many he has caught in that area over a period of time, if the animals will potentially be an issue if released close to where they were caught as well as what his intentions are with the animal.

From the NT Website phatty, it shows that you can have "exempt" species without the need for a permit but they cannot be taken from the wild. More info can be found on the site

Some species referred to as ‘exempt’ species may be kept without a permit as long as they are obtained lawfully and not taken from the wild.
