hothouse Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Are the Leopards legal?? After the Whites Frog thing that went horribly wrong for you, just wondering?? Last thing anyone wants is a swap and then losing their new pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Are the Leopards legal?? After the Whites Frog thing that went horribly wrong for you, just wondering?? Last thing anyone wants is a swap and then losing their new pets. Eublepharis macularius are legal...for now. Who knows with MAF these days. Swap for say 4 Palmas?

godragon Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Download from NZ Herpetologic Society Note the end of the document, Leopard Gecko Does not require permit to keep in NZ. http://www.reptiles.org.nz/uploads/PDF/ ... nimals.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 correct godragon..i think hothouse was more getting at were they legally bought into the country (years ago before import ban ) therefore legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 pretty sure they can be traced back to orana park in chch when it first started and had some sort of financial difficulties ?At one time I think it was all but shut down?Believe it or not no one wanted them???(the leopard geckos)and Eric Fox(otorahanga kiwi house) took them to save them.A few went to Ti point and The akld Zoo had a few at one time.The numbers have been up and down but due to lack of temperature breeding knowledge/care no males were bred and all of a sudden there was only one breeding male.This is as I understand from what I have been told,some points may be not exact but happy to be corrected where necessary? Not to say other imports may or may not have happened by fair means or foul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Heard same story from Orana So part of it must be true Repto...lol Been here for a long time. were all in Orana but got scattered when park was struggling. Some one did research and around we go again. Navarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
