Well this question has been buggin me for the last 2 days "Do you need a DWAL to own a Komodo Monitor" , I would think you would but just needed an answer.

Not on DWA, nor is there a law against keeping them. The only restrictions are CITES listing, and domestic legislation in indonesia, which I think may prevent export (except for zoos etc0

are zoos allowed to sell animals? for example... if they bred komodos and they sold one to someone for research purposes? or are they not allowed to do that?

i believe that they have to be given as a present from the indonesia government/king not sure if they have a king but i'm pretty sure that's the way you get one even zoo's.

I heard someone in Europe had bred them in a private collection, I think I read it on venomdoc.

Komodo dragons are not on the DWAL license,

Komodo dragons can be legally imported into europe as any one animal bred in indonesia however komodos but be F4 generation Captives before legal export is allowed.

I know of 10 babies coming into the country in september and they will be going into both private collections and breeding programs, They are being sold at little over £1000

Thanks

They would be awesome to have. They would be better than a guard dog. No one would take on those things.

Hard to control aswell though!! If it decidews to eat you then your lunch at the end of the day!!
