Hi guys
Hope anyone can assist in this regard. I had someone ask me a question some time ago with regards to Permits and I could not provide the answer.
If a person buys a snake from someone else; obviously the seller must obtain a transport permit and the buyer a captivity permit. The one is dependent on the other as a captivity permit can/will not be issued unless proof is produced that a transport permit exists. If the seller neglects to provide a transport permit - but delivers the snake nevertheless, what can the buyer to to remedy the situation? Is there a way that the buyer can still obtain the captivity permit legally in this case? What can happen to the buyer if he discloses that he has a snake without a transport permit - will he be prosecuted/fined or will the onus be back on the seller who sold the snake without the necessary transport permit?
Please advise.
Thanx
