Yeah it gets really frustrating, I have to do a return every year of the frogs I currently have and all these details about them, with the person who I got them offs license number & details. Also we aren't aloud to take animals from the wild (spawn, tadpoles or frogs) and if we do we get a fine and our license (if we have one) gets taken off us and we aren't aloud to be issued a new one.
Not having any amphibians/reptiles from outside Australia annoys me too, especially seeing all the amazing frogs, geckos, snakes and chameleons out there. People can go to prison though if they are caught with foreign animals (there is a big illegal corn snake trade going around).
We have to fill in an application to get our wildlife license and pay accordingly to what license we get. But I guess it's all worth it for my frogs I can't imagine being without them. Even with all the hassle of the license
