Snakes in Melbourne and what to consider first
If you have searched Snakes Melbourne, Victoria, you have visited the right page. Waterlife Aquarium’s Reptile Department helps you understand the time, effort, and care involved before you decide which snake is right for you.
Many different species of snakes are available, and Wildlife Licences are required to keep them. You can legally keep several species of pet snakes, including Children’s Pythons, Stimson’s Pythons, and Centralian Pythons—but it’s important to ensure you have the appropriate permits and understand their care requirements before getting one.
Wildlife licence timing and planning your setup
Our reptile team will help with the information you need and the suitability of the type of snake you are interested in. It can take up to 4 weeks for the licence to be issued, which gives you time to organise the enclosure and essential equipment.
Before deciding which snake you buy:
Check the requirements for the species you are considering
Plan the enclosure size and setup early (so you are ready when your licence arrives)
Understand the ongoing care needed
Basic feeding and care expectations
A snake/python can be fed a mouse or rat once weekly, which is typically less time-consuming and less expensive than many other pet routines.
We can set you in the right direction—so pop into our Reptile Department at Waterlife Aquarium and ask to “Cuddle a Snake” for an up-close experience.
