Reptile Rehoming - Macarthur Herpetological Society

REPTILE REHOMING

Macarthur Herpetological Society assists with the rehoming of reptiles 
where the licensed owner is no longer able to care for, or no longer wants, their animal. 
We work in conjunction with NPWS Wildlife Licensing during this process, where necessary, to ensure all animals are being rehomed according to legal requirements. Our role in rehoming is to facilitate the process of locating a new home for these reptiles. 

This involves contacting our members via email to get expressions of interest for potential new owners. 
The interested parties' names are placed into a ballot process to determine who will receive the reptile in the fairest way possible.
 
Once a ballot has been conducted for a licensed reptile, the new owner is contacted and given the contact details of the original owner.

If we cannot rehome a reptile through our own society, we will reach out to other reptile societies members.

At the moment our current requirements for the rehoming process is as follows:
1. A current reptile licence that is the appropriate class for the reptile being applied for
2. A membership to ANY reptile society within NSW

In terms of reptiles for rehoming, we see an unpredictable variety of species including snakes, lizards and turtles.
Typically we see a majority of class one reptiles but do sometimes get class two reptiles for rehoming. 
We do not receive class 3 or higher as these are rehomed via Wildlife Licensing directly to the class holders of the license required. 

We only rehome native Australian reptiles as per the laws within our country and we do not rehome reptiles to/from interstate. Please reach out to your local organizations for this if you live outside of NSW as unfortunately, we will be unable to assist in these matters. 

Please contact Macarthur Herpetological Society via our contact form or email president@macarthurreptiles.com.au
