Reptiles as pets
| NOTE: All
reptiles & amphibians are protected in Victoria and in other
parts of Australia & cannot be collected from the wild without
the appropriate permit. However, there are many specialist pet shops that sell the kind of reptiles that you can keep as a pet. You will need a licence, and the shop will tell you how to get one. |

Responsible
pet ownership
Reptiles kept as pets depend on their owners for food, protection
and shelter. Before becoming a pet owner think carefully about
all the things you will have to do to care for your pet
responsibly.
