Class 1 licenceA Class 1 licence authorises you to keep most of the common species that are easy to look after. A person with just a basic knowledge of the needs of reptiles should have no difficulty meeting the needs of these species.

Some of the animals which can be kept under a Class 1 licence are:

  • eastern snake-necked turtle
  • eastern water dragon
  • eastern bearded dragon
  • common bluetongue
  • children's python
  • carpet python.

The fee is $60 for a licence lasting up to two years, or $120 for up to five years. Anyone over the age of 10 years can get a Class 1 licence. If you're under the age of 16 years, you must have parental/guardian consent.

Class 2 licenceYou'll need a Class 2 licence if you want to keep species that are difficult to keep, rare in the wild or dangerous venomous snakes. A person with a Class 2 licence can also keep Class 1 species.

The Class 2 licence is only available to people who are over the age of 18 years who have had at least two years experience in caring for Class 1 reptiles. Some of the species that can be kept under a class 2 licence include:

  • lace monitor
  • frilled lizard.

Additional criteria need to be met before venomous species may be kept. The venomous snakes in this licence class are grouped into three sub-categories and the most dangerous species can be kept only by the more experienced keepers. The licence fee is $60 per year, $120 for two years or $240 for five years.

Reptiles first evolved around 320 million years ago. They descended from labyrinthodont amphibians. Reptiles were the first terrestrial vertebrates that didn't need to lay their eggs in water.
