what types of pythons are we allowed to keep in W.A?

[Nicole666]

Hey guys/gals,

Im from W.A, most of evryone on here is from NSW, and QLD, from what ive seen. What types of snakes am i allowed to keep over here, ive been reading that only our local species such as stimsons, womas, black headed pythons, and olives. I would luv to get hold of a jungle or a bredli, are we able to purchase snakes on this site and have them shipped over here??? anyone familiar on the laws and restrictions??

Have a look here for lots of info: Department of Environment and Conservation

And no, we cant keep jungles or bredlis. Also, we cant import any pythons into WA.

It's my understanding that you can't freight/bring pythons into WA. There was a guy on here just before who wanted to bring his jungle to WA when he moved - can't be done unfortunately.

Here's a thread on a similar kind of thing:

This is also pretty comprehensive:

Really glad that I live in QLD!

I think we can take them out of state but not bring them in?

Everything seems to be a lot easier in QLD in regards to keeping reptiles. Got to love Queensland
