PROPOSED PET HERPETOFAUNA KEEPING CATEGORY LISTS.

1 PROPOSED PET HERPETOFAUNA KEEPING CATEGORY LISTS. 1. INTRODUCTION The following draft category lists have been prepared for illustrative purposes only. It is intended that only a proportion of the allowable species under category lists will be initially approved for keeping. There will be a need to be conservative when considering approval for the importation or taking from the wild of herpetofauna for the pet industry. Taking from the wild by specially licensed pet herpetofauna harvesters and subsequent breeding will clearly need to be targeted to species for which there will be a significant captive keeping interest and which will also prove to be resilient to such keeping. Species permitted for keeping in the more basic category lists will be restricted to those that are easy to breed and keep in captivity, as will be proven over time. Within a few short years of operating any such licensing system the animals to be kept will therefore be generally exclusively obtained from captive breeding. Some of the more experienced reptile keeping enthusiasts will undoubtedly wish to obtain different species for keeping. Applications to introduce new species for keeping will be considered with regard to the possible impacts on the species in the wild, the resilience of the species to captive keeping and breeding and any possible impacts on nature conservation values from escapes or unauthorised releases of such species. In many cases there may be little concern in these areas. A procedure of trial keeping by a licensed keeper could be implemented to test the suitability of specific species for keeping and also for verification of the proposed keeping schedule for specific species. Please note that the draft category lists are not to be considered as shopping lists. They are intended to provide a reasonable overview of the species that could be permitted for keeping and under what circumstances. The initial lists will certainly require significant amendment over the first few years of operations. It is hoped that the amendment process will be through reasonable public consultation and publication of Gazette Notices with revised category lists. Many species permitted for keeping will be likely to have highly specialised keeping requirements, such as diet, security (venomous snakes) or exercise. These species may be identified as Special Keeping Requirements (SKR) species. It is suggested persons wishing to keep such specimens will need to qualify for the specific species licence category and demonstrate that they have a facility that meets the SKR of the species in question before they take possession of such an animal. The following private keeping category lists are proposed for consideration: 1. Exempt from Licensing 2. Basic Keeping Licence 3. Standard Keeping Licence 4. Advanced Keeping Licence 5. Expert Keeping Licence 6. Prohibited for Keeping. 2.0 DRAFT CATEGORY LISTS 2.1 Category List 1: Western Australian Pet Herpetofauna Species Exempt From Licensing for Private Keeping No licence required to keep the listed fauna. Animals may only be obtained from existing private collections or from persons licensed to take specimens from the wild or breed them in captivity. Species on this list are very common, widespread, non-dangerous and able to be adequately kept by an inexperienced keeper. All species naturally occur in Western Australia.

2 2 Given the need to be cautious in the introduction of a new licensing system, it is likely that there will initially be no species included on such a list. Over time, however, as has happened with avian fauna keeping categories, the introduction of exempt species will most likely occur. Any person keeping these animals must ensure they are kept in artificial habitats adequate to provide the animals maintenance requirements and to prevent their escape. It is the owner s responsibility to ensure such animals receive adequate nutritional requirements and are treated humanely at all times. 2.2: Category List 2: Western Australian Basic Pet Herpetofauna Species A Basic Pet Herpetofauna Keeping and breeding will be required for any persons wishing to keep herpetofauna species listed in this category. The licensee will be required to provide biannual returns detailing stock changes of all list 2 fauna. Animals may only be obtained from existing private collections or from persons licensed to take specimens from the wild or breed them in captivity. Species on this list are common in the wild, widespread and easy to maintain. All species listed naturally occur in Western Australia. Any person keeping these animals must ensure they are kept in artificial habitats adequate to provide the animals maintenance requirements and to prevent their escape. It is the owner s responsibility to ensure such animals receive adequate nutritional requirements and are treated humanely at all times.

The licensee will be required to provide annual returns detailing stock changes. Animals may only be obtained from existing private collections or from persons licensed to take specimens from the wild or breed them in captivity. Species on this list are common in the wild, reasonably widespread and quite easy to maintain. All species listed naturally occur in Western Australia. Any person keeping these animals must ensure they are kept in artificial habitats adequate to provide the animals maintenance requirements and to prevent their escape. It is the owner s responsibility to ensure such animals receive adequate nutritional requirements and are treated humanely at all times. TURTLES

7 7 Animals may only be obtained from existing private collections or from persons licensed to take specimens from the wild or breed them in captivity. Any person keeping these animals must ensure they are kept in artificial habitats adequate to provide the animals maintenance requirements and to prevent their escape. It is the owner s responsibility to ensure such animals receive adequate nutritional requirements and are treated humanely at all times. Special Keeping Requirements (SKR) may be imposed for some species, which would further restrict keeping and trade, as outlined in the Introduction. Expert Keeping and breeding Applicants must be at least eighteen years of age. Applicants to keep dangerously venomous reptiles must undertake to maintain such reptiles within an appropriate distance of a major medical centre or to have other arrangements to ensure ready access to appropriate anti-venom in the event of a snake bite. Some species may also have other Special Keeping Requirements (SKR) in terms of housing/exercise. No such species are to be held by a licensee until premises have been inspected and verified to be suitable for the SKR taxon.
