Nope. They are legal here. Only things illegal are crocodilea, crocodile monitors and i believe water monitors. And of course any venomous snake. Kind of ironic that a venomous lizard is ok but not snakes. I guess its the fact that snakes can easily kill you with a bite where as gilas and beaded lizards will just make you wish you died unless you are allergic to their venom like a bee sting and then you could go into anaphylactic shock and die.
