Adrianli Hypersonic June 14, 2011 Share June 14, 2011 The Star Tortoise are endangered spieces. See here : http://www.ava.gov.sg/AnimalsPetSector/Res.../FAQS/index.htm Question : What types of animals are allowed to be kept as pets? Answer : 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.

Unltd 5th Gear June 14, 2011 Share June 14, 2011 Online, someone bragged about carrying a Maine Coon kitten back and passed thru customs. But you can actually import right? Just need to follow a few procedures... Like for fish you can actually bring back as baggage but must be in 3L or less of water checked in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
