well hope you have done your homework on these guys. have you organised your license yet i think it takes a while to get sorted and to make sure that you can get the antivenom for the snakes your going to keep and that a local hospital can get it etc. I know that they have to come vet your home and check that you have the required cages and security for DWA's -
People seem to think you can just go buy a venomous snake etc.

As your only young i take it you have spoken to your parents about keeping these types of snakes at home and what is involved ect.

do you have to keep them in a lockable room so many metres from the main house and separate from your other herps etc? i think i've read something along those lines before but maybe it changes from area to area

yes thats what i thought but as you say maybe different councils have different rules

hi yes ive spoken to my parents and they understand that i have never kept any of my animals withought research and making sure im well prepared. i spoken to the council and it will cost me £101 a year plus vets fees. they said that the animals must be in a separate building from the main house which they will be as they are going into my outbuilding with the other animals and they must have an enclosure confined within another locked enclosure.
thankyou all for your replies.

£101 wow that sounds rather cheap - here its around £2000 so ive been told plus all the extra!
