yay, I'm glad to see he's going to have a happy, stable home. Not that Greg didn't give him one but I just know he'll be a happy camper at Chez Tiger :yay:

When does he arrive? have you been fully briefed on his 'personality' and what to expect of his temperament?

Yeah, both Greg and the person I bought him from have explained (to my satisfaction) his 'nasty attitude'. Greg said he was working with him and prior to selling him he was getting better.

They are holding him until I get his setup together. I had ordered a cage for Piper that should be here in a couple of weeks, but I'll give it to Grissom instead (since he's bigger).

we can't own
Tannies
IJs
Merauke
Indonesian
Keis

we can only own aus species:
Eastern
Blotched
Shingles
Westerns
Centralians
Northerns

we can only keep native species of reptiles, and although requirements and permits differ from state to state, that doesn't.

So we can only own Aus snakes, lizards, turtles, geckos, monitors etc.

I'd like to get a snake, maybe a carpet python or a diamond, but my husband won't let me. I like beardies but don't want the hassle of having to feed live food so it looks like I'll just have to build a bluey menagerie :lol:

I think I will get another one later this year or early next when the babies are born and although I'd like a centralian or a shingle, I'd be happy with just another Jubby or a blotched.

Unless you want to sneak Cole over to me...........

I'll take the credit for starting the thread, but I think you would have convinced yourself to get him on your own. ;)

Kelly, you were probably thinking of the different permits in each state. I believe Easterns and Northerns and Blotched (Easterns & Northerns seemed to be grouped together in scincoides as the same species as I understand it) can be owned freely however, but Centralians & Westerns need a special permit. This is just "generally" how it works as I understand it.
