Oh goodie!! AVA finally relaxed their hold...
The main problem now I see is how to educate people to feed them when buying... There are bound to be people buying them on impulse...
Never thought I would see this in my life time, AVA approved Litoria caerulea for sale in Singapore. Just spoke to Jason, CF, he is preparing the paperworks. Get your tanks ready guys!

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Thomas, its not surprising. Some of the big bookstores and even the libraries have books on Herptile care. Its a matter of time before the AVA loosens their grip, where herptiles are concerned. But it'll definitely be light years before they approve the keeping of amphibians like the Poison Arrow Frogs, aka Dendrobatids.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Well, if I did not remember wrongly, on the AVA website, they state something like the general fear of reptiles and amphibians as one main reason they ban the sale and keeping of them... Of course you will be surprised after reading such information...

Great! I hope it's a sign of better things to come!
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Whoa, wasn't aware that you guys couldn't keep certain reptiles over there. Don't have a shot of a White's tree frog, but here's a black eye tree frog, a couple of Dendrobates, and a tomato frog to tie you guys over.

Look under Economic Importance for Humans section, maybe one of the reasons that a baby step was taken:

AVA site states Green Tree Frog and Litoria caerulea as its scientific name, is that correct?

Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth....the scientific name is the best reference, there are many other trade or common names for this species.
It is White's Tree Frog because the first person to describe the species is John White. Also known as Green Tree Frog because it is green in colour.

Hopefully first of more good news to come.
Eric you terrible person! You know we can't keep these little beauties here!
Cool shots! Love the second and third picture.
Cheers,

The same can be said for certain species of fish around here (e.g. Asian arowanas).
Eric
man i'm just so excited over this news... can't believe i have a chance to own a Frog i can actually let climb over my body.. i was always envious over some of my US buddies who have these guys!
If I were a fish, I'd BREED all Day!
may be the intention is also to help keep mosquitoes at bay
Great can get another partner for my only whites.
Heard the 1st Qian Hu shipment is in, in quarantine, once LFS is licensed, we will be spoilt for choice.

Question is... do the potential owners know the husbandry requirements of them? I think there is a potential of impulse buying in the starting weeks.
Yes, I agree. I think we might need to start a new thread on the proper husbandry of the frog (living conditions, food etc) and the frog's background information (potential size etc). We do not want the frogs to either die from improper care or released after the owners got sick and tired of caring for the frog.

AVA to their credit, have put in some guidelines to educate public at point of purchase.
