Altivo 3rd Gear October 20, 2009 Share October 20, 2009 should be AVA Animal & Pets Sector >> Being a Responsible Pet Owner What types of animals are allowed to be kept as pets? There are many types of animals which may be kept as pets. These include dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice, chinchillas, red-eared sliders (a type of terrapin), and many types of fancy birds and fish. However, not all animals can be kept as pets in Singapore. Under the Wild Animals & Birds Act, our wild animals should not be caught or kept as pets. Similarly, imported wild animals such as snakes, lizards, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, monkeys and star tortoises cannot be kept as pets. The penalty for keeping an illegal animal can be severe. Contact AVA at 6471 9987 if you are not sure what animals can be kept as pets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic October 20, 2009 Share October 20, 2009 During my army days, during topo exercise in Mandai area I encounter many snakes(real one). They come to me, you know. Not imported one. All local snakes. If I want, I can actually bring one home and keep as a pet. Ok mah. I fulfill the requirement. Local ,not imported snake. The snake comes to me, I cannot say "go away". So I actually can bring it home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altivo 3rd Gear October 20, 2009 Share October 20, 2009 hahaha... why u want so many snakes? U already got an one-eye snake leow leh Anyway, back to TS's query Under the Wild Animals & Birds Act, our wild animals should not be caught or kept as pets. Similarly, imported wild animals such as snakes, lizards, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, monkeys and star tortoises cannot be kept as pets. It looks like even those caught locally is illegal as snakes is considered wild animals and the Wild Animals a& Birds Act states that it should not be caught or kept as pets. Hmmm..... then where do those big fat pythons in chinese temples come from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
