I stand corrected, and thanks for the update.

I'm guessing, but I assume they would still have to comply with the same DWAL requirements that an individual would, namely a separate room, double door entry etc ? Or some other requirements if a DWA is on public display ?

nope, that's the daft thing, quite often the requirements for a privately held DWAL are much more stringent than those for the DWA addendum on the PSL, plus the PSL is, more often than not, cheaper than the DWAL

Yeah in our council a PSL is cheaper then a DWAL. Had to have no extra inspection at all. All we have to do is declare what we have in.

Well I'm gobsmacked.. So someone who owns a petshop selling bunnies, mice and goldfish, could, in theory, apply for what is possibly a cheap addendum to their license and start trading in DWA's.... the law's an ass !

pretty much mate.. only other thing you need is public liability insurance.. I think that if you only had "normal animals" and not reptiles they may check first. well i'd bloody hope so.

Or also if you know of any reptile shows local to Southampton and Hampshire also?

Cheers!

I imagine the Public Liabilitie Insurance would be a lot higher for a pet shop selling DWA? because of the amount of people who enter the store on a daily basis....an escapee could be a bit of a risk....I dunno. But a PSL being cheaper then a private DWAL is scandless!!! They should be ATLEAST a similar price....especially if venomous reptiles are involved.

We have the odd DWA animal at Reptiles Plus (have had cobras, rattlesnakes, and caimans amongst others not so long ago). The best place locally however would be DPS Exotics in Warminster but i'm not sure Dave and his team would have the time neccessary to answer all of your questions though James . If you want to view venomous species have you thought about getting a train to say London Zoo?.
