Scales, tails and licensed keepers
Captive-bred native reptiles from licensed keepers Message the seller directly — licence required
Licence required — read before you buy or sell Reptiles are contact-seller only on MateLoop. No checkout, no Australia Post.
- You must hold a current licence for this species in your state before buying (unless it is licence-exempt where you live). Fines apply and animals can be seized.
- Posting live reptiles through Australia Post is illegal. Use pick up, a specialised live-animal air freight service or door-to-door pet transport.
- Interstate moves need an export licence from the seller's state and an import licence from yours.
- Tasmania does not allow private import of mainland reptiles.
- WA buyers need a WA pet keeper's licence first. Listings from other states are not available to WA buyers without a DBCA import licence and biosecurity approval.
- Exotic reptiles (e.g. corn snakes, ball pythons, leopard geckos, iguanas) are illegal in Australia and not allowed on MateLoop.
- MateLoop does not verify licences and is not a party to the sale. Check the seller's licence before you pay.
- Sellers must show a keeper or dealer licence number (or confirm the species is licence-exempt in their state). WA sellers need a DBCA Fauna Transfer Authority before every handover.
Only available to holders of a current licence authorising possession of this species.
