Hey everyone. I was wondering if there are any experienced DWA keepers in the Glasgow-Edinburgh area.
If so would they be willing to share some of that experience with an 18 year old?

(please note i have no intention of buying a dwa until I'm about 25-30. I just think 10 years is a reasonable amount of experience to start with before buying one. And even at that I'll probably get a rear-fanged species at first)

Just to give my tuppence worth.....I'm 32 and know jack about keeping DWA's !!!

The most dangerous things I've ever owned have been a lionfish and a piranha

I'd be horrified if I applied for a DWA licence and was granted one on the basis of my age......

Is hands on experience a factor in it? I wouldnt feel right applying without at least some hands on experience.

is there an age limit to get your DWA
for example im 15 could i get it or do i need to be older?

18+ is the required age.

the short guide at the beginning of this thread is very informative BUT i do believe that it seems to cover just DWA species that would be kept in vivs, ie snakes. There are creatures such as large mammals that are DWA that would require something completely different

that is true but there are MANY people on here that keep species that are not reptilian, but still require DWA
