The one and ONLY python BAN thread (HR511)

[red ink]

I need a permit to purchase a bearded dragon and I have to renew that permit annually in order to continue keeping it. I also have to send back a census form of all the animals in my possesion each year, how many are alive, how many have died, how many I've bred and how many I have sold to other licenced individuals.

Yeah... price we pay for a bit of peice of mind that a 13 year old can't walk into a petshop and buy a 2 foot long Morelia kinghornii on impulse only have it turn into a 15 foot tempremental beast a few years down the track.

By having a permit system it also gives them the right by law to inspect your collection at their discretion. If the collection and husbandry is found unsuitable they have the right to cancel your license and take all of them. It is set under the license conditions.
