What exotic pets can be kept legally in the UK?
I know it's not specific to herps but didn't know where else to post. Does anyone know where I can get a list of exotic pets legally allowed to be kept in the UK? I've searched online and can only find stuff on welfare not specific species?

I can't think of anything you cannot keep.
You just need the correct license! There are many species you can keep without a license too. Believe it or not, it would be easier to ask what you CANNOT legally keep....

Yeah, but what I really want is a badger, and I'm pretty sure I can't have one of those!
I want to look into species I can keep, do some research and maybe look into something, even if I need a licence, but even googling badgers as pets brings up nothing about legalities, only welfare and conservation. I'm looking for an official site regarding what species need licenves, what's a nono etc...

You might be able to apply for a licence from Natural England to rehabilitate badgers, but it's unlikely they'd offer a licence to keep them as pets. Now, if you wanted to look into a hand-reared AMERICAN badger that might be a different story, although you'd be looking at quarantine/etc.

The Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 (Modification) (No.2) Order 2007 No. 2465
Is link for DWA, dangerous wild animal act. Anything named on there you need DWA license for, anything not named and can keep it without license. Simple as just case of finding breeder/supplier and having an area large enough to keep it and correct facilities such as outdoor heating etc. Quote:
