Not if you are selling as a hobby to fund your personal collection.

Yes if you are selling as a business / to make profit.
Yes if you are selling "Dangerous Wild Animals" (ie. venemous).

As the law stands today (1951 Pet Animals Act) you do not need a licence to sell animals that you breed. Even if you breed commercially you cannot be licensed (legally) under this legislation, I would suggest. However, under the new Animal Welfare Act you may in the future be required to be licensed.
