Introduction

Hi everyone,

My name is Deb and I'm new to dreamwidth. I live in Sydney, Australia. (In Australia, a person needs a special license to own reptiles.) I'd really like to get my hands on a snake but I keep putting off the paperwork for the license and purchasing a snake because of cost factors. It's not that I can't afford it but I find it hard to justify spending over $200 (License+Snake) on myself. Lol.

Buuuuut somebody has a birthday in Juuuuune. ;)

Update: I've just submitted the application for a reptile license. It takes 21 days to process but I'm that much closer to owning a snake! :D

I was thinking something small to start things off so maybe a Spotted Python, Children's python, or a Stimpson python.

Do you need a license to keep reptiles in general? Or specifically per critter, every critter?

The license is to keep reptiles in general.
Also, depending on how long you have had a reptile license determines what type of reptile you may own. For example, a person must hold a reptile license for at least one year in order to own a Green Tree Python.

Okay, that makes sense.

Around here, you don't need a license but there are municipal restrictions on what size/type of snake you can legally acquire.

I look forward to seeing a picture in a month or so :)

Which reminds me that I should post some kind of intro page of my own at some point in the near future.
