ooh thats a bit harsh for you guys , no exotics at all , i suppose we have it fairly good at the moment in uk , there is only really channa argus , bowfin , paddlefish , that you need a permit for really.
oh we do need permits for things like lions and tigers ect ,and all posionus snakes. but as long as your enclosure is inspected and ok you are pretty good to go , a few of the big animals like crocs you also must have public liability insurance as well as the dwa permit. but on the plus side i seen a male lion advertised yesterday for £500 , thats cheeper than most pedagree dogs even cheeper than some snakeheads
cheers col
