Well it's illegal, and the person selling can be prosecuted, fined - and even jailed.

well I was under the impression that its illegal to keep without one but its not up to the seller to check, could be completely wrong.

I'm finding a tough time finding the legislation reference now you mention it, my license conditions say

(iii) The animal shall not be moved from those premises (except in the following circumstances, namely under safe and properly controlled conditions to the premises of a registered veterinary surgeon for treatment purposes only: or to the premises of another licence holder, whose license permits the keeping of this type of animal)

So certainly by driving around with a caiman and offering it to people that is breaking that part.

I was specifically told that I must obtain a photocopy of the persons license and inform the council of the movement when a DWA animal was sold. I do however operate under a PSL and not a DWA.
