Heloderma horridum horridum - Los Vegas

Heloderma horridum horridum - Keeping in Los Vegas

I am interested in a job in the Los Vegas area and am wondering about what permitting is needed to own beaded lizards in Los Vegas. It seams like I would need to apply for a wild animal permit before moving, since it is a venomous reptile. How hard are these permits to get? Do many people own beaded lizards in Nevada? Cheers, ericR

one tip, before you put in a application use spell check.

I received an e-mail with most the info I needed. If anyone has any experience getting these permits, please post.

"Beaded lizards are legal in Las Vegas. You need a non commercial possession permit which is about $15 a year. You may also need an import permit for it, which is $15 I think. That's a one time fee. Contact the Nevada Dept. of Wildlife, and they can get the you forms, or you can go to NDOW Licensing to get the forms online."

Cheers, ericR
