Hello, first post and probably not my last. I currently have an assortment of invertebrates and one snake, my snake Patches the albino Darwin carpet python, I intend to sell the inverts that live until the time my question would be helpful to look back on. I have a question hopefully someone may be able to answer or have experience with.
Can owners corporations of apartments, units or townhouses, in South Australia, ban reptiles for other owners, or is there even a system like that over there?
For context, my parents plan on moving there in the foreseeable future as they are retiring soon in roughly 6 years if everything goes to plan. I will only be 22 at that point, and I don't think I will have a stable enough foundation of job experience when I will be moving, plus mortgage is really expensive, I would like to be able to live with my parents until I have a stable enough job to buy a small home, plus put 20% monthly into savings, on top of mortgage, which could very likely just be a pipe dream. If I can manage to pull off 10% savings of my monthly pay, I would be quite content in moving out, but 20% would be the ideal situation.
If possible I would like to eventually buy a small 1 or 2 bedroom 1 bathroom living area. I would like to be able to do this for my move-out, but that would very much depend on if we have another housing crisis in 6 or so years. If we don't and house prices are relatively similar, based off the prices I have seen, I might be able to find an established building to call home, hopefully around my mid to late 20s, I do not want to take the risk on buying from a new complex.
I personally don't want to rent unless I have to, I would like to have a more stable living foundation rather than leasing a property and possibly being unable to live there due to my reptiles, plus I plan on getting a few lizards whenever I move out, likely being a display only animal like a gecko, of which Strophurus taenicauda would be an absolute dream, if I could find an Oedura filicipoda breeding pair or trio I might faint, they look so stupid yet so weirdly cute, I would also be very happy to have the chance to work with baby geckos.
The next set of text, I realise is mostly just random tangents about my experiences. Not at all necessary to read, I will leave a note on where I continue to be kinda on topic.
On the incubation and hatchling note, I do have a book made by Mike Swan, authored by many legends of the hobby, one of which was at some point my boss, during my work experience at the store he manages, he was very nice, a little intimidating but a cool bloke nonetheless, I seem to be going back there this coming school term, I am quite excited to get back to cleaning the enclosures, not very excited about cleaning the absolute crap machine that was one of their blueys in quarantine, if he is still there of course, dusting shelves, feeding the many inverts, on the note of inverts, I am not very excited about having to see the guy who sold us the last batch of Cormocephalus, as they were pretty clearly neglected, hell one of them was on pure red sand, one of the others, which was the same exact pede as the one on sand, even to the locale, was on pure Coco peat, which is miles better, but still has some horror stories surrounding it. Enough tangents, I talk too much.
Tangents stop here.
Sorry for the incredibly long winded and dragged out post
Final note, my parents and I are moving to South Australia from Vic.
Huge thanks for anyone deciding to take their time to read this amalgamation of a post, I don't even know where it is better suited for, general reptile discussion or introduction, and even more thanks for those who answer the question I asked before the long tangent. Regards, Bailey.
