The animal should come with an Article 10, which holds it's chip implant number and other identification details. It also dictates what the animal can be used for, education, commercial etc..

As far as I am aware there are no Komodos available in the UK which would mean you would have to import one. If this is from Europe (EU) then no other paperwork is required for you to import it into the UK.
If it was from outside the EU then you will need an import permit from DEFRA and an export permit from the authorities relevant in the exporting country. This is where a lot of time and a lot of patience can be very useful.

Talk to Rich at Shropshire Exotics he's pretty au fait with import/export matters

sounds interesting. wonder if we'll start to see komodo's a bit more in the coming years. i've always liked the idea of croc monitors but what the point if you can have a komodo!!!!!!!!!!

Owning a Komodo would be madness!
They're amazing, dinosaur-like lizards but being as dangerous as they are, I'd not like to own one! Can't believe you don't need a license.. that's stupid!
