Specimen log

Each individual animal and their associated specimen information must be registered. To register multiple specimens sourced from an individual animal or specimens sourced from multiple animals, please repeat the process until you have registered all the protected animal specimens you possess or intend to collect.

Note:
If you have specimens from the same species of animal but they are from different individuals (e.g. bones from two different wombats), you will need to log each animal's specimens separately.

If you have specimens from multiple animals of the same species, log each individual animal separately
If you are not able to find the species of the specimen in this list, please select 'Other' at the bottom of the list. You will be asked to provide the species common name and scientific name.





Transactions
There is an enforceable limit of 5 transactions that you can make in a 12-month period.

By selecting 'Bought' this will be automatically included as part of your transaction record for this 12-month period.

If you buy and sell any additional protected animal specimens you are required to report this information annually by your reporting date (12 month anniversary of your registration to the code).



If this land is owned by someone else, please retain the written consent in your own records of the private landholder giving you permission to take the specimen.






                                                    
                                                                                                                   
Details of person who provided you with this specimen








List all the specimens from this individual animal


If you have multiple specimens of the same type from the same species you have selected (e.g. 3 non-viable eggs of a tawny frogmouth or 2 taxidermied common wombats), you are required to log each specimen as a separate individual animal.
Unpreserved specimen
You must take this carcass or unpreserved specimen to someone legally authorised to preserve it (such as a BC licensed taxidemist) within three months of first possessing it.

E.g. If you have 3 feathers from a bird, you would enter '3' in this field.

You can also free type the date instead of using the calendar

If you possess or intend to collect specimens from different individual animals, you must log each animal's specimens separately. To log specimens from another animal please click 'Add more specimens from another animal' just below the bottom right corner of this box.
