Illegal to keep..

As the other bros has said, it is illegal. But they are relatively common in lfs if u know where to find them. They usually hide them below shelf or on top tanks.

Man fined $41,000 for having 32 wild and endangered animals in Toa Payoh flat

*Singapore*|*Updated today at 12:41 PM

By Khushwant SinghIt was the biggest seizure of illegal wildlife from a home in 11 years and naturally the offender received one of the biggest fines ever meted out for such offences.

Ong Ming Shiang, 33, was fined a total of $41,000 on Thursday after pleading guilty to contravening the Endangered Species (Import & Export) Act and the Wild Animals and Birds Act.

Acting on a tip-off, officers of the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority inspected a Housing Board flat in Toa Payoh North on June 3 last year.

Among the 32 wildlife and endangered animals seized were three rare ball pythons, two Indian star tortoises, a slow loris, three black-tailed prairie dogs, two sailfin dragons and five ornate horned frogs.

AVA records revealed that the animals were not indigenous and had been brought in without permits. Investigations then revealed some of the animals were given to Ong while others were bought by him.

However, no further details were told to the court.AVA's prosecuting officer, Mr Yap Teck Chuan, also said that there was no evidence linking Ong to any wildlife smuggling syndicate but asked for a heavy fine as there was evidence to show that the animals were for sale.

The maximum punishment for contravening the Endangered Species Act is a $500,000 fine and a two year jail term while the maximum penalty under the Wild Animals and Birds Act is a $1,000 fine.

Pleading for leniency, defence counsel Alywin Goh said that a heavy fine would cripple Ong financially as his client had also to support a Thai wife and two sons, aged two years and one-year old.

District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim allowed Ong, who works in his father's provision shop, to pay $16,000 first and the remaining $25,000 two months thereafter.This is the biggest haul of wildlife since 2002, when a man was fined $25,000 and jailed for three months for owning 47 illegal wild animals as pets.

The animals seized

One Sunda slow loris One common marmoset Two Indian star tortoises Three leopard tortoises Two red-footed tortoises Two yellow-footed tortoises Two alligator snapping turtles Three ball pythons Two green iguanas One lined flat-tail gecko Five ornate horned frogs One inland bearded dragon Two sailfin dragons Three black-tailed prairie dogs Two degus

If those from the first batch when it is available at lfs before the ban should be okay.
Just not allow to sell them.
