Question

hey everyone,

I REALLY need to know ...

1. Are Leopard Geckos SOLD in Australia ?

2 . If they AREN'T sold in Australia, can they be imported ?

3. Can i buy Leopard Geckos from pet stores in Australia ( with a licence of course ) ??

4. How much does a Leopard Gecko cost roughly ? - australian dollar

Thankyou.

I know how to take care of them , i have done my full research.

But i just can't find out the answers to the questions above.

PLEASE ANSWER!

Answer 1

Exotics are strictly illegal to own or import in all states of Australia. So :

1. No

2. No

3. No

4. Not Relevant

There are dozens of native Australian geckos that make wonderful pets, to start with I suggest you research these few.

- Thick Tailed Geckos ( nephrurus milli )

- k**b Tail Geckos ( nephrurus levis levis )

- Binoes Geckos ( heteronotia binoei )

Keep in mind though you will still need a reptile license relevant to your particular state to keep any of these.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You cannot legally own leopard geckos. Australia does not allow the ownership of non-native reptiles by private citizens, only zoos and such are allowed to keep exotic species. You are restricted to the native species allowed by your particular state's licensing system
