I beleave there is no regulations on what the councils can charge for the cost of DWAL as we all know prices ranges are huge in some cases some as little as £65 right upto £1000+
also there is talk to make a set price across the board of what to charge but i have know clue when this will happen even if it will happen they same as making the DWAL last 2 years instead of 1 year

How do people get them with no license.........who is selling them to people with no license. I love gaboon vipers but if someone was to offer one i wouldnt take it, the risk is too high and as mentiond before it ruins it for the responsible ones.

You could probably get one easier than you think if you got friendly with one of the very many dodgy pet shop owners out there they could get you one without a licence.

Probably not bought in the UK... We don't want to give people the exact way of doing it though.

Thats fine, I would say only a small percentage come from sources like this though. However I have not carried out any questionaires so I am purely guessing!

I am not sure how people come up with even estimates of non-licienced keepers...

They're not difficult to get. I'm fairly sure I know the route you're alluding to. lol

There is plenty of appeal

There is also many reasons why it is not a good idea but people tend to have that 'it won't happen to me' attitude.
