Licensing

sigh ...

I suppose it would be remiss of me not to mention the fact that you are required to have a license to keep, breed, buy or sell most [all?] reptiles in Australia.

This changes from state to state so make sure you know what your legal obligations are before you dash out and buy that bargain python you've had your eye on.

Here's some links to get you started:

• Queensland
• Northern Territory
• South Australia
• New South Wales
• Victoria
• Western Australia
• Australian Capital Territory
• Tasmania

Of course you need a license to keep reptiles, but a mere permit will suffice if you'd like to bulldoz some of their habitat - go figure...

Anyway, I won't preach [I'll rant and rave instead ...]
