Default What pets are allowed in the UK without liscence?

I have read classifieds on the net of people selling these cute little monkeys in the UK, and also I read someones post on here displaying a stunning skunk. Must you have a liscence to keep these?
No, not getting any more animals lol, just wondered. Well... maybe another gecko or two in future so Grim has a couple of lady friends hehe.

most of the adverts seen on the classifieds for primates are, unfortunately, scams

no-one in the UK would advertise a primate for "adoption" certainly no-one legitimate would advertise them as diaper trained, and good with children..

and the prices quoted are daft.. 400-500 is NOT going to get you a "baby capuchin" posted to you!!

this is, from defra, the current list of animals within the UK requiring DWAL licensing. this of course does not cover species who require other certification, such as Article 10's

Defra, UK - News - Information bulletin 2007 - Changes to the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 – revision to Schedule of Controlled Species

last year, the following animals were lifted from the DWA.. this is possibly due to proposed changes to the DWA that may follow in 2008/9
