Can't wait!
Would like a snake but the ministry of finance and war, ie partner, doesnt agree, so turtles it is!
I was looking at the snakes you could keep with a class 5 licence, WHY would ANYONE want to keep a death adder, dugite, king brown or tiger snake.
Completely beyond me, but each to their own I suppose...

ha! my brother has his cat 5. but thats mainly becouse he is snake catcher and every so often they have to board here, untill they can be re-released.
ill post some pics of the setup shortly, it was custome built by him and my father (cabinet maker) and has all the heat coils built into the wood on the bass etc.
myself i hate snakes but am planning on getting some frogs, also out of intrest sakes where do most people by there reptiles?

Nothing wrong with keeping elapids. If you know how. Great pets some of them.

website is; reptilertrader.com.au
in reply to 69olds comment, it is a very simple process to get the license, there's a link to the licensing papers on the reptiletrader website, all you have to do is fill out a form, send the form and pay for which ever category license you get. i'm assuming you'd be after a cat. 3 license which'll cost $100 for 3 years. (that'll cover both stimsons and carpet pythons)
stimsons pythons start at 395 for a hatchling and carpets from 995, however the carpets will reach 3 meters for a female and 2 for a male, where as the stimmies reach 1meter and abit.
and for a setup your looking at $500 min i'd say. some vivariums come with lighting and thermostats and others don't, so it really just depends on what you go for.

hey all,
I used to keep 2 stimsons, a darling carpet and a south west carpet python!!
stimi's were quite small one was 72cm and the othe about 90cm...
darling carpet was magnificant with his goldy green tapestry markings
south west i didnt keep for lon as he was 1.6m long and couldnt house him. but he was kindly donated to a friend of mine who holds a cat. 5 and keeps a death adder in an enclosure in his room... not a big fan
i just like the ones that cant kill you right!! but to each his own
all snakes were wild caught (lol) with suficent licences, mind you, and unfortunately i dont keep them any more!!
thats it for mee
Cheers
Arron
