Does anyone know if a pet shop license covers dwa's? or are they two seperates ?

The owner of the local reptile shop thinks having a pet shop license lets you keep animals normally requiring a dwal.

Mine does

[snakelover]

think it lets you keep them but not sell, or sell them but not keep them lol , cant member where i heard that.

Mine allows me to keep and sell. Obviously with selling the buyer is also meant to have a DWA

I assume it is very similar with most, if not all counties.

The license by defult says you can. Some local authoritied are stating "no DWA" on the license but essentually this is illegal.

The shop i work in has a license that covered DWA but the council must be notified by phone of any animals covered when they come in and go out.

Also there is no Lawwful requirement to sell to a DWA holder. However you must obtain the persons details before the sale.

Cheers, i wont be selling dangerous animals just considering keeping them and ive been told a pet shop license is a lot easier to obtain than a dwal.
