Changes to the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 - revision to Schedule of Controlled Species

Following an independent review of the Act and subsequent consultation exercises, the statutory list of dangerous wild animals has been revised. The list is now limited to those species which experts agree present a genuine risk to the public.

The revised Schedule (SI 2007/2465) comes into force today and the following species, which have been added to the Schedule, will now require licensing:

Argentine black-headed snake (Elapomorphus lemniscatus),
Peruvian racer (Tachymenis peruviana),
South American green racer (Philodryas olfersii),
Amazon false viper (Xenodon severus),
Middle Eastern thin-tailed scorpion (Hemiscorpius lepturus) and
Dingo (Canis familiaris dingo)

The following species, which are no longer considered to present a threat, have been removed from the Schedule and will no longer require licences:
