Reptiles
Where should I get my reptile?
Once you have decided what kind of reptile you want to keep, have a home set up for them, and have received your licence, you can start your quest to locate a suitable animal. Remember, reptile keeping in Australia is a privilege, not a right.
Is it necessary to feed my pet reptile live prey?
There are very few, if any, vertebrate-eating reptile species who will not eat anything other than live food in captivity. Where reptiles require a diet of whole vertebrate animals, such as mice, it is recommended to provide prey that has been humanely killed.
