is there anything i cant get my hands on lol

Possibly a stupid question (cos I think I know the answer) but whats the availability of the Australian Goanna as a species? These would hit high on my wish list if I could get one.

These fall well into the realms of the not legally attainable animals, otherwise i'd have some

hmmm thought so. Makes no sense tho, They are extremely common in country of origin.

That really surprises me, thanks for correcting me. I was told they were illeagal to keep privatly. Surely it could kill you easily though?

So could a large dog.

I would think if a) you can afford £50,000 and b) go through the effort of getting one you'd know what your doing... Besides a retic or Burm is capable of doing that and they are easy enough to get

Yea i suppose they are... crazy hey?! so has anyone actually 'domesticated' a komodo? Not in the same way as a dog but i mean like a normal snake or lizard?

I want a Tasmanian Devil, saw one when I went to Australia (obviously in some animal sanctuary) and they are SOOOO cute <3, anyone any clues as to where, how much and what sort of size enclosure they would require?!?! Not gonna happen really... need a DWA.... and would probably have to be happy with the fact I'd be single for the rest of my life....

Aren't they kinda known for being vicious...?
