Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Thanks so much. I live an in apartment complex. My sav is a baby right now but when it gets bigger I wanted to be able to take it outside on the leash without the neighbors trying to give me bull because they are scared. Besides the permit the place we have allows pets anyway but you would be surprised. We have a local paper that lets our community "spout off" about stupid stuff and instead of talking about real issues they complain about dog waste, dogs barking, neighbors fences being too high....it goes on. I am surrounded by idiots, lol.

As of about 6 months ago (which was when I purchased mine) no permit is needed to own a Savannah in Florida. Unless I am missing something, there is still no permit needed.

I live in New Jersey too, and yes, Savannah Monitors do require permits, along with any exotic animal really... almost all animals in New Jersey need a permit, besides cats, dogs, and rats, ha ha. But then they still want you to register them and all that too. But It is only $10.00 a year for the permit, and you can put all of your animals on it, it is only $20.00 if you add birds to it. Hope that helps, and if you have any other questions about animal permits in New Jersey I will help you, I have been through it all, and over and over each year for renewals.
Here is the website though so you will have their phone number and application.:

Thank you, BSASH! I did some browsing on the website before for my frilled and sav and they were not on the list. They have "Monitor" Listed but it's scientific name is Varanus spp., so I figured it was not needed. I think they need to make a detailed list. I have not had a chance to call them however when I emailed them about the Frilled needing one, they never responded. Thanks for your input though, very helpful. God forbid, when it got bigger I would have taken it outside here one day not knowing it needed one and they would have tried to take it off me. I mean it's not like I am fighting off paying $20 to have all the right documents to keep them both, just wanted to know if it was nessasary before I did. So, thanks for coming out of the woodwork and informing me, lol!

Varanus spp covers most species of monitors which is why they are not listing individual species.
The easiest way to win the argument is to avoid it.
Walking a large lizard on a leash in public IS asking for trouble even though you may be with in your rights to do so.
Getting involved with a local herp society outreach or similar venue would be a safer way of showing off your lizard to the public.
It's not so scary when they can approach you as to you approaching them.

You can put the Sav. and the Frilled on the same permit for $10 a year, you will just need a copy of both of their receipts (Store or hand written) and temporary permits (If you have them) when you mail in the application. And, if you are to get any other animals, you can wait until the end of the year to add them to your permit, and it is still just $10 for the year plus $2 to add the new animal, so it would be $12 in total. The permit price will only be $20 a year if you have birds.

Also, you are welcome, and I'm glad I could help. As well, Tim Cole is right, I wouldn't take a monitor or any large reptile into public for that matter, it very well could be a lawsuit waiting to happen. Township laws are different than state laws most of the time, and while the state may allow you to have these animals, the township may not want them to leave your property. I would suggest if you wanted to take them outside for a walk or what have you, to do it in your own yard (Or a local Herp. Society as suggested). Plus, there is always the possibility of them getting off leash or maybe not and just tail whipping or biting someone, which would certainly lead to the animal being destroyed. People don't typically make exceptions for reptiles, they are far less favored than cats or dogs, and when things do happen and go wrong with them, even if it is just a scratch, most people will seriously blow it out of proportion.
