reptilez Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 It is illegal to take one from the wild and keep it unless you have some sort of special permit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonz1833 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Release it where you found it or you could end up in abit of trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 To keep natives you need a Permit from DOC, To collect from the wild however you almost need to be God Release it now if you still have it asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Isn't it also illegal to release them again? Mad law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 lol probably. can't blame him as he didn't know. still surprised to hear one was found though, unless it got woken early by a warm day? see lots of them around summer, just go spotlighting in pohutakawa's (that are not possum or cat ravaged) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 The gecko probably didnt know the rules of brumation and thought the winter had been mild enough for a forage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
