Licenses for frogs

[Wizbang]

There are no species of amphibians exempt from licence requirements in Western Australia. The taking of amphibians from the wild for any purpose, except under a taker's licence, is illegal, and any people attempting to illegally keep these animals will be prosecuted.
The Department of Environment and Conservation issues licences. There are four species for which keeper's licences may be issued: Litoria caerulea (Green Tree Frog; category 2), Litoria moorei (Motorbike Frog; category 2), Litoria splendida (Magnificent Tree Frog; category 3), and Heleioporus albopunctatus (Western Spotted Frog; category 4). The lower category frogs are generally easier to care for, and certainly cheaper to obtain a licence for.


I would like an amphibian license. I live in Western Australia. You need a license for captive bred frogs too. I'm under sixteen so I'm only able to get a class one license. Where can I get information and applications for a class one amphibian licenses in WA?

P.S The department of Environment and Conservation has split into the department of Parks and Wildlife and another department. But their website has no information on class one licenses.

Thanks,
One more thing do you know who stocks UV amphibian lamps in Perth? When I say lamps I mean like desk lamps not bulbs. Also, how can I fit them in a enclosure?

Thanks once again,

No idea. I'm on the other side of the country.

You do not need UV for frogs. You do not need anything special at all unless you're growing plants in the viv. You also should never put a light INSIDE the enclosure, that puts the frogs at risk for burns.

The only reason I'm doing that is licensers are picky. They what me to light and heat it otherwise I might not get my license.
