DantezGirl Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 hi has any one gone through the processs of obtaining local skinks lizards would like to know 1: how much did it cost for permits ect 2: do the enclosures have to be indoors or out doors? quite cold here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 i don`t know that there is any cost for the permit but I know they inspect your housing for the lizards be fpre you get the permit.We used to have outdoor enclosures but not sure what the doc standing on this wouls be,I think they prefer that you are a member of the herp soc but also not sure if this is a requirement?it is a good way to get to know others and in fact the only way you are meant to get your animals by swapping etc ,others will have the latest rules & regs.

DantezGirl Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 cool thanks repto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeous Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think Hans has/had geckoes, you should get in touch with him. Didn't think skinks need permits, but I may (probably :roll: ) be wrong. Make sure you post pics ASAP if you do decide to get them thought Cheers, George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broms2 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have just gone through this process, you may find this helpful, http://www.reptiles.org.nz/regulations&husbandry.htm as for costs, it differs for each area, get hold of your local DOC person And yes you need a permit for all Native reptiles, also the australian Rainbow skink which is in there by default.

rockwork Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 hi we are going through the process at the mo and you can have out side or inside up to you were you wont them to be. but there are regs on size of enclosure. wot plants you need to have in there for the type you have the best thing to do is go to your local d.o.c office and they can give you every thing you need to no. and become part of the herp society that helps and then you can get some lizards you cant buy them or sell but you can swap them kat and zane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 i have a permit costs about 65 dollars you will needd an outdoor enclosure though some inspectors will approve indoors as mine was so long you can prove you have all the things you need outdoor is neccesary. they are made for nz weather, so no worries for cold. if you want a guaranteed, easy no hassle enclosure, go for a exo terra flexarium or explorarium... WOW, i just bought one, currently i am in south africa, they are less than half price here compared to nz, cheap as hell they are perfect for nz geckos, im buying for a beardie set up but you can have them out doors and is perfect for nz geckos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
