    Reports are of one animal with minimal chance of it becoming a problem.

    You dont need any permits or licenses in the South of Ireland for owing any dangerous animal or poisonous snakes or lizards.

    UK and Ireland have what is called DWA which is a very strict but secure way of owning such animals

    :confused:

    As a non-native invasive species it will have the same legal status as mink ie. vermin that can be legally trapped and/or shot.
